The Florida Gators showed they don't have to hit home runs to generate offense at the Women's College World Series.
Cheyenne Coyle, Aja Paculba, Tiffany DeFelice and Michelle Moultrie all had RBI singles as the nation's top home run-hitting team moved into the semifinals by beating California 5-2 on Saturday night. Florida will play Alabama on Sunday.
The Gators had homered twice in each of their first two World Series games to push their NCAA-best total to 114 this season. This time they got timely base hits and capitalized on a series of fielding mistakes by Cal shortstop Britt Vonk.
Vonk's errant flip to third on Coyle's third-inning infield single allowed the Gators to tie it at 2, and Paculba followed with a clean single to put Florida ahead to stay. The Gators tacked on runs in the fourth and fifth on two more infield singles hit to Vonk.
