The Gators’ hot streak at the plate came to an end on Tuesday night against Jacksonville. They registered nine hits, but only one of them went for extra bases. They went 3-for-17 with runners on base and stranded seven runners on the basepaths.
The Dolphins’ four pitchers did a terrific job of keeping the Gators off balance and unable to build much momentum. They held them to a season-low one run.
Fortunately for the No. 11 Gators, their trio of pitchers were even better. Tyler Nesbitt, Ryan Slater and Nick Ficarrotta combined to toss a three-hit shutout, and the Gators won their 10th game in their last 11 attempts by a score of 1-0 at Florida Ballpark.
