The Tennessee Volunteers were looking to claim the series against the Florida Gators in one day. Unfortunately, they couldn’t pull it off on Friday night in Gainesville, falling 4-3 in the second game of the doubleheader. The Vols claimed game one 6-2.
It was a day of swings and misses for Tennessee hitters. They struck out 16 times for the game, with starter Liam Peterson recording 7 of them over the first 4 innings. Between Peterson and Florida reliever Fisher Jameson, who struck out 8 Vols over 4 innings, Tennessee simply wasted too many plate appearances and were stymed by Florida’s duo.
