The Crimson Tide's pitching woes cost them a run in the fifth. Rookie RHP Jocelyn Briski was called from the bullpen at the top and struggled to settle in, allowing two hits, a run and a walk. Reagan Walsh's RBI single brought in Korbe Otis for her second run of the day. Florida leads going into the sixth, 3-2.
