BATON ROUGE - The LSU softball team has some late-season momentum.

The Tigers used an 8-run sixth inning to beat Florida on Monday night and claim a series victory against the No. 8 team in the country.

After going into the sixth inning tied at two with the Gators, LSU took advantage of Florida's inability to throw strikes and got a few timely hits to claim a 10-2 run-rule victory.

LSU now improves to 39-11 and 11-10 in SEC play. The Tigers end the regular season later this week with a three-game series at Arkansas that starts on Thursday.
