OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Lauren Haeger's three RBIs helped Florida beat Michigan 3-2 on Monday, moving the Gators within one win of a repeat Women's College World Series title.
Michigan (59-7) saw its 28-game win streak snapped. The teams will meet again Tuesday in the best-of-three championship series.
Haeger opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning, her third home run of the World Series. In her next at-bat, she doubled in a run to give Florida (59-6) a 3-0 lead in the third inning.
Michigan's Abby Ramirez singled in the sixth to score Olivia Richvalsky and Kelsey Susalla and cut Florida's lead to 3-2.
Michigan had runners at first and third with no outs in the seventh against reliever Delanie Gourley, but did not score.
