The No. 5 Gators did just about everything that you can’t do to have a chance to win a baseball game on Friday night versus Jacksonville.
Offensively, they generated just two hits and two runs through the first five innings off of Dolphins starter Tyler Santana. The top four hitters in the lineup went a combined 2-for-16 with five strikeouts.
On the mound, five Gators combined to surrender six earned runs on 12 hits. Every time the Gators scored, UF’s pitchers gave up multiple runs in the top half of the following inning. In fact, those innings accounted for all but one of the Dolphins’ runs.
