How to watch: Florida Gators-Texas Longhorns at the Women's College World Series

Can the Florida Gators softball team win the third national title in program history but first since 2015? The final leg of their quest begins Thursday in Oklahoma City when UF, the third overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, faces No. 6 Texas at noon ET in the first round of the Women’s College World Series.
“I told my team as we began this journey that this is obviously the greatest show on dirt. And the greatest opportunity for student-athletes in our sport,” Gators coach Tim Walton said this week. “It’s a great opportunity to be here. It’s a great atmosphere. And just a great process to celebrate.”
Florida (48-15) faced Texas (51-11) in March at home and the Longhorns won two of three. But it’s worth noting the Gators were without Keagan Rothrock, the team’s top pitcher, in that series as she dealt with an injury that kept her out for more than a month.
