UF advances to softball World Series

For the fourth straight year, Florida is heading back to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
Freshman Hannah Rogers pitched seven shutout innings and Brittany Schutte belted another home run Saturday, lifting Florida to a clinching 7-0 win over Oregon in the NCAA Gainesville Super Regional.

Schutte put the game away in the fifth inning, belting a three-run homer off Oregon starter Jessica Moore. In the two-game series against Oregon, Schutte finished with three home runs and seven RBIs.

Florida (52-10) is the first Southeastern Conference to make the WCWS four years in a row.
