Gators hold off Tigers to win series

Sunday’s rubber game between Florida and Missouri was a tightly contested affair with several twists and turns, but the Gators made just enough pitches to get the job done.

Florida defeated Missouri, 4-3, to win their third series in a row. By picking up their 13th conference win, the Gators (32-19, 13-14 SEC) may have already secured a spot in the NCAA Tournament with four games still remaining in the regular season.

Starting pitcher Nick Pogue was dominant for the second week in a row. He struck out a career-high eight batters in a career-best 6 2/3 innings.
