It wasn’t pretty, but it was a night for the record books.
The No. 1 Florida Gators (22-1, 3-0 SEC) won its 15th game in a row and 24th consecutive game at McKethan Stadium, tying a school record, with a 2-1 victory over No. 19 Florida Atlantic (15-4).
Freshman Jackson Kowar took the mound after a poor outing against Missouri on Saturday where he walked both batters he faced and gave up two runs. Kowar didn’t make it far before surrendering a run. FAU second baseman Stephen Kerr deposited a 94 MPH fastball over the left field wall on just the second pitch of the game.
