CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The No. 1 Florida Gators (7-1) took the series with a 7-3 win over the Miami Hurricanes (5-2) on Sunday afternoon at Mark Light Field.
Sophomore starter Alex Faedo set the tone early for the Gators and was sensational all afternoon. Faedo threw 6.1 innings of hitless baseball, matching a career high in strikeouts (7) in just the first three innings before ultimately striking out 12.
“He gave us an emotional lift. You could tell early on that every pitch had a purpose and he wasn’t leaving anything in the tank,” head coach Kevin O’Sullivan said.
