Wednesday night’s game between No. 12 Florida and Florida A&M at Florida Ballpark had a strange feeling to it from the jump.
For starters, UF’s pitchers walked 10 Rattlers and plunked another one. That’s unusual in its own right for a Kevin O’Sullivan-coached pitching staff. With that many free passes, you’d expect the Rattlers to pull out an upset win or at least keep the game competitive.
Instead, the Gators weren’t challenged on the scoreboard. And yet, the game still featured a walk-off single by Nathan Hickey.
Florida pounded out 12 hits and held Florida A&M to just two in its 10-0 win in seven innings.
