Gators storm back to run-rule Bulldogs in game one

The Florida Gators run-ruled Mississippi State 13-3 after eight innings on Friday night, taking game of the series and improving to 26-14 (5-11 SEC) on the 2025 season. Kevin O’Sullivan’s squad trailed 3-2 after five innings before the Gators’ bats exploded for 11 runs in their final three trips to the plate.

It looked for a while like this was going to a low scoring affair as Bulldogs starter Pico Kohn struck out 11 batters in his five innings pitched while allowing just two runs. After Kohn left the game, Florida hammered one of Mississippi State’s best bullpen arms in Stone Simmons, recording six straight hits vs the right hander.
