Down to her last strike, Jordan Matthews launched a three-run home run that sent Florida to the Women’s College World Series with a 5-3 win over Texas A&M in Saturday’s Game 3 of the Gainesville, Florida, Super Regional.
A&M (44-18) cut into a 2-0 deficit in the sixth when Tori Vidales scored on a wild pitch, and that was just the start of the Aggies’ own comeback rally.
Sarah Hudek, with two outs, singled to right and scored on Vidales’ two-run home run.
Florida (55-9) was last season’s national runner-up to Oklahoma.
