Three errors and a five-run top of the ninth inning cost Miami the second game of their annual rivalry series against the Florida Gators. With the loss the Hurricanes drop to 8-2 on the season, but still have an opportunity to win the series on Sunday afternoon.
Florida took an early lead in the top of the first. Colby Halter led off the game with a double, then scored when he stole third and the throw went into the outfield. Defense cost Miami again in the top of the third, when a two-out dropped third strike allowed a runner to reach before Jud Fabian hit a two-run home run to left field to make the score 3-0.
