The Florida softball team extended their winning streak to seven games as they swept St. John's in a doubleheader Tuesday evening at Florida Softball Stadium. Florida (10-4) followed up their 9-3 win in the first game against St. Johns (0-7) with a 6-0 win in the nightcap.

The seven-game win streak ties for the second-longest winning streak in Florida softball history and is second to only a nine-game win streak the Gators had 2001.

"I didn't think our team effort was as strong as it should have been in the first game," Florida coach Karen Johns said. "We talked about it in between games and we responded."

Amanda Knowles (5-0) was credited with the win in game one, and Amanda Moore (4-2) pitched a complete game to win game two. St. John's Meghan Allman (0-7) received both losses in pitching two complete games.

Three Gators had two hits in game one, including Mylin Prieto's 2-for-3, two RBI performance. Katy Berger went 1-for-3 with a game-high three RBI's in the first game.

In game two, Jenilee Garner went 2-for-2 with two RBI's and one run. Prissie Walden also went 2-for-2 with two runs scored.

In game one, the Gators took advantage of control problems by Allman to score five runs in the first inning on only two hits. Four Florida batters were walked and one was hit by a pitch to reach base that inning.

After two Gators were walked to help load the bases with one out in the first, Allman walked Andrea Zimbardi to score Jackie Marchetta. Nikki Baldwin was hit on her left wrist the following at-bat to score Prieto from third and put Florida up 2-0.

Katy Berger took matters into her own hands the following at-bat. The outfielder cleared the bases with a three-RBI triple into right field to give Florida a 5-0 lead.

Knowles cruised into the third inning allowing only two hits and striking out four, but she would run into trouble that inning. After giving up back- to-back singles with one out, she was replaced by Amanda Moore.

A Jillian Sandoval double to left-center field scored the St. John's first run in the third Later that inning, a sacrifice grounder to second base scored Jessica Sheppard to trim Florida's lead to 5-2.

Florida tacked two more runs onto their lead in the fourth inning to go up 7-2. After Jenn Brown stole second base with one out that inning, Mandy Schuerman's single down the left-field line brought her home. Schuerman scored from third base with two outs later in the fourth inning when Prieto's line drive bounced off the St. John's third baseman's glove into left field.

The Gators took a 7-3 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning after St. John's scored one run in top frame of the inning. Florida hit three consecutive singles to start the sixth inning, with Prieto's one-base hit scoring Schuerman. Pinch hitter Ashley Cutcliff recorded her first career RBI two batters later with a groundout to second base to score Marchetta.

Moore pitched 4.2 innings of relief, allowing only one run, one hit and three strikeouts.

In game two, the Gators jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the second inning and never looked back. With two outs and runners on second and third base, Jenilee Garner singled on a full count to score both runs to give Florida a 2-0 advantage.

Schuerman scored Garner the following at-bat by drilling a pitch down the left field line into the outfield with two outs. Garner was able to cross home plate before Schuerman was thrown out at second base to score Florida's third run.

The Gators scored three insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to go up 6-0 and end the night's scoring. Prissie Walden doubled to left- center field to lead off the inning and scored along with Katy Berger off a double by Cutcliff to center field with one out, giving Florida a 5-0 lead. Baldwin scored later in the inning when Jessie Franklin was hit by Allman with the bases loaded.
