Florida softball vs. Texas live updates Women’s College World Series

Florida softball begins its 2025 College World Series journey on Thursday at noon with a game against fellow SEC powerhouse No. 7 Texas.
There’s some history here as the Longhorns eliminated the Gators a year ago to advance to the championship series. This Gators team has new faces, of course, and won the season series against Texas without starting pitcher Keagan Rothrock. Just as in baseball, winning Game 1 of pool play in the College World Series is crucial. It’s double elimination during this stage, and having a loss to give means everything with just a handful of games left.
Florida is a very complete team, but it’s the power factor that’s going to make the difference. The Gators have more than 100 homers as a team, and freshman phenom Taylor Shumaker is one of the young stars of the sport.
As the first pitch gets underway, settle in and follow along with this live blog as it’s updated during the game.
