For the second night in a row, the No. 23 Gators got off to a hot start, this time jumping out to a 4-0 lead over Vanderbilt in the fourth inning.
However, UF’s pitching staff proved once again that no lead is safe with them. The Commodores cut the lead in half with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Then they struck for four runs off of starter Brandon Sproat in the sixth to grab the lead. Florida tied the game in the following half inning on BT Riopelle’s third home run of the game, but UF’s bullpen gave up a run in both the seventh and eighth innings to lose the game.
