Florida sophomore Stephanie Brombacher threw 5 innings and recording her first no hitter as a Florida Gator. The Gators defeated Coastal Carolina 8-0 in the 2009 Lipton Softball Invitational.

Brombacher’s incredible pitching is the reason why she is 3-0 on the season so far. Stephanie struck out 9 batters on 80 total pitches in the contest.

The Gators offense was just phenomenal. Kim Waleszonia finished 2 for 3 with 2 RBI along with scoring twice. Kristine Priebe blasted a two run home run out of the park in center field. This was Priebe’s first start and I’m sure this has a big impact on receiving more playing time in the future.

An early rally for the lady Gators led to a 2-0 lead after a sac fly by Francesca Enea. Sophomore Corrie Brooks hit real well. Brooks doubled off the wall and then came in to score after the Priebe home run.

The Gators are back in action today to take on Florida Atlantic in Gainesville starting at 12:30. You may listen to the game on the radio (WRUF).
