Florida Gators drop series opener to hot hitting Rebels

Florida ran six different pitchers out in the game, but the Rebels didn’t care who was on the mound. They hit them all while downing the Gators 12-4.
It started with a less than stellar performance from Tommy Mace. Through the first two innings, he had already given up five hits, but just managed to escape the jams. It was only a matter of time before those base runners would turn into runs.
