WATCH: Florida softball catcher Sam Roe makes jaw-dropping catch in SEC Tournament semifinals

Softball is entering the most intense portion of its season, with conference tournament play well underway. The SEC is no different, with two of the best teams in the country battling it out on Friday night in a semifinal. Both the Arkansas Razorbacks and Florida Gators are looking to add a trophy to resume before heading into the NCAA Tournament.

Thus far, it’s been an intense battle but was able to produce a jaw-dropping moment in the third inning. After seeing a ball get fouled back, Florida catcher Sam Roe dove toward the wall and made an incredible catch. Somehow, despite heavy contact, she was able to keep possession to record the out.

Of course, everyone in attendance went crazy to salute Roe for her effort.

Florida has already won two games at the SEC Tournament, defeating Texas A&M on Wednesday and Kentucky on Thursday. Were they to advance and play in the championship, the Missouri Tigers would be on the other side waiting for the Gators.

As for Arkansas, they were crowned the regular season champions and are trying to back up their season-long work with another title. With the tournament taking place in Gainesville, they are having to play a road game in a tough environment. In the fifth inning, the Razorbacks leader 4-1.

Florida is going to need a late-inning comeback from everyone involved in order to advance to the championship game. For such a successful program, lifting the trophy would make three within the past five seasons, with the 2020 edition getting canceled due to COVID-19.

Plays such as the one Roe made is exactly what Florida needs going forward. The effort alone is unbelievable but being able to fully execute just puts the cherry on top.
