The No. 15 Gators defeated North Florida 3-1 at Florida Ballpark on Wednesday night thanks to their second dominant pitching performance in as many nights.
After limiting Stetson to just three hits on Tuesday, UF’s three pitchers scattered eight hits against the Ospreys, with only one of them going for extra bases. They struck out 13 batters and issued just three free passes.
Flame-throwing righty Brandon Sproat made the start and gave up just one run and four hits in a career-high five innings. He struck out a career-high eight batters.
“Really pleased with how he started, and that’s another arm that gives us a chance,” UF coach Kevin O’Sullivan said.
