Hunter Barco and Jacob Young brought their “A” game on Saturday.
Barco, the second-year freshman lefty, pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out a career-high-tying 10 batters.
Young, the third-year sophomore left fielder, broke out of a bit of a slump at the plate by going 4-for-5 with four RBI.
Behind their superb performances, the No. 10 Gators cruised to a 9-2 defeat of Kentucky at Kentucky Pride Park to win their fourth consecutive SEC series.
It was a solid day all around for the boys wearing the grey pinstripes.
