During a break in the action of the Gators’ matchup against No. 9 Georgia on Saturday, Florida head coach Tim Walton raved about his freshman standout. “She’s putting together one heck of a freshman season,” Walton said. “Her batting average is higher in SEC play than it is overall — a lot of homeruns.

The Bruins’ win on Saturday marked the 800th career victory for head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez.
