The Gators kept the momentum going on Tuesday night at Condron Ballpark, defeating Bethune-Cookman 7-0. They’ve now won five consecutive games and seven of their last eight to do wonders for their postseason resume.
The story of the game was UF’s pitching. The trio of Tyler Nesbitt, Nick Ficarrotta and Blake Purnell combined to give up just five hits and strike out 11 batters to record the Gators’ third shutout of the season.
“[Nesbitt] threw the ball well tonight,” coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “A lot of early contact and threw strikes when we needed. I thought the pitching overall was really good tonight.
