The top of the order was highly productive, as Wyatt Langford, Sterlin Thompson and BT Riopelle went a combined 7-for-11. However, the five through nine batters were complete non-factors, going 1-for-15 with four strikeouts.
The lack of lineup depth caused the Gators to hit just 3-for-17 with runners on base and 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position. They stranded nine runners on base and failed to score past the fifth inning.
