Gators roar past Lions, complete series sweep

No.4 Florida (5-1) plated eight runs in the first two innings en route to a 12-5 beatdown of Columbia (0-3) on Sunday afternoon, completing the first weekend series sweep of the 2024 season.

Tyler Shelnut and Colby Shelton both blasted home runs in the contest, the 2nd on the season for each. Shelnut tied his career high with four RBI against Columbia while Shelton led the Gators with three runs in the series finale.

Luke Heyman added two hits and four RBI, including two doubles. Heyman reached base on three of his five plate appearances.

“We have a good hitting team, just continuing to do what we do best, and just get our pitches, not try to do too much, stay in our approaches,” Heyman said postgame.
