Florida Gators comeback to beat Vanderbilt with five-run ninth

The No. 12 Florida Gators looked snakebitten on Thursday night in Nashville. The Gators committed three errors, spotting Vanderbilt early runs, Alex Faedo wasn’t sharp and they stranded 13 base runners. Dalton Guthrie, representing the tying run in the eight inning was tagged out at home after a passed ball in the eighth inning took a fortunate bounce for Vanderbilt, allowing Jason delay to get the ball and beat Guthrie back to the plate.

It looked like it wouldn’t be their night until a five-run, five hit ninth inning explosion that pushed Florida (23-11, 7-6 SEC) past Vanderbilt (21-14, 6-7 SEC) to take the opening game of a three-game series.
