GAINESVILLE
In the top of the third inning on Saturday, Florida starting pitcher Brady Singer fired a sinking fastball across home plate. It was 97 mph.
Three pitches later, he recorded his third strikeout of the game.
Singer, the highly touted and hard-throwing sophomore making his first career weekend start for the No. 3 Gators, dazzled and mystified his opposition for five innings and the offense cracked the game open with 13 hits to give Florida a 8-1 series-clinching win over William & Mary at McKethan Stadium. UF (2-0) has now won all 10 season-opening series under coach Kevin O’Sullivan.
