NOTABLES:
* During Florida’s series at Auburn, senior Kendra Falby became just the third player in program history with 300 or more hits in their career: Kelsey Stewart (357), Kendra Falby (304) and Amanda Lorenz (301)
* In five of the last six match ups between the Gators and the Seminoles, the game has been decided by two runs or less
* Falby has reached base in every game this season (38) and has a 40-game on base streak dating back to last year’s Women’s College World Series. It’s the longest single-season on-base streak for a Gator since Kendyl Lindaman (40) in 2019
* In 14 plate appearances at Auburn, Erickson drew 8 walks and was hit by pitch twice. She drew four walks in game one of the series on March 28, becoming the first Gator to draw four walks in the same game since Janell Wheaton on April 22, 2017
* She has reached base in 17 straight games
* The last time the Gators played FSU, Kendra Falby matched a school record of five hits. She went 5-for-6 with the game-winning solo home run in the top of the ninth inning and turned the game-ending double play. She also tied her career-best of four RBI
* Florida has shut out opponents 13 times this season, the third-most of any team in the NCAA
* Taylor Shumaker leads the nation in runs scored (48) and ranks second in RBI (56)
* Falby ranks fourth in hits (44), runs scored (46) and stolen bases (31) in the NCAA

* Three different Florida pitchers earned victories at Auburn: Kara Hammock, Ava Brown and Keagan Rothrock
* It was Rothrock’s first victory since Feb. 22 at Grand Canyon
* Of Rylee Holtorf’s 20 RBI this season, 10 of them have come from three home runs: two grand slams and a two-run home run
* Holtorf has seven multi-hit games this season, including in three in the last five games
* Shumaker needs just five more RBI to set a new freshman program record
* Mia Williams is currently on a career and team-best eight-game hitting streak
* Not including the 2020 season, this will be the first year that Florida and Florida State don’t play a home-and-away series against each other since 2012
