Conference plays continued to bring out the worst Florida baseball has to offer Saturday afternoon as the Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Gators, 17-2.
The 15-run margin satisfies the run rule in place during SEC play, but Florida played all nine innings after the final six Georgia runs in the ninth inning. The Bulldogs scored runs in each of the first five innings and led the Gators 9-0 before the first Gators run of the day came in the sixth.
Brendan Lawson broke the shutout with an RBI single to score Bobby Boser and Hayden Yost hit his first career home run in the seventh, but the blowout loss (and series loss) overshadowed the only two positives for the Orange and Blue on the day.
