Sunday’s series finale between Florida and Mississippi State at Dudy Noble Field was a pitchers’ duel for the first seven innings. Both teams entered the eighth inning with identical line scores of one run on five hits.
Mississippi State starter Cade Smith retired the final 10 Gators that he faced, and UF’s Nick Pogue and Fisher Jameson combined to retire 14 of the last 16 Bulldogs that had stepped to the plate at that point.
Then, as they did in game two on Saturday night, the Gators’ offense sprang to life down the stretch to run away with victory.
