Florida softball wins SEC Tournament title

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Florida muscled up Saturday to win its third SEC Tournament championship with a 10-4 win over Missouri.

The Gators (52-7) hit three home runs, a triple and a double to add the tourney title to their regular-season championship. UF also won both regular-season and tourney titles in 2008 and 2009.

Florida now awaits Sunday's NCAA Tournament seeding and regional pairings.

Because of inclement weather Friday, the tourney semifinals were played earlier Saturday. Florida defeated Georgia and Missouri handled Tennessee to set up the finale.
