Florida looked to be cruising to a 5-0 start until the Gators’ bullpen allowed seven 9th-inning runs, blowing their comfortable 8-3 lead.

The Gators would strike for one more run in the bottom of the ninth, but that was all she wrote for Florida.

Freshman right hander Yoel Tejeda Jr. made his first collegiate start for Florida, throwing three innings, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks.

Jac Caglianone got things started for Florida once again on Wednesday night, jumping on the first pitch he sees and clearing the right-center wall for his second homerun in as many days.
