OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Nicole DeWitt's single in the bottom of the ninth scored Justine McLean and gave Florida a 3-2 extra-inning win over Auburn on Sunday, sending the defending national champion Gators back into the championship series.
McLean advanced to second on a wild pitch before DeWitt's hit off Auburn reliever Marcy Harper.
Florida center fielder Kirsti Merritt threw out runners at the plate in the second and fourth innings. Lauren Haeger pitched a complete game for the win.
The Gators (58-6) nearly won it in the eighth, but center fielder Morgan Estell threw out Francesca Martinez at home with two outs and the score tied 2-2.
