In the beginning of the season the Gators couldn’t buy a hit. Saturday night they pounded out 16 hits in a 15-1 win over the Yale Bulldogs. In two games against Yale the Gators have 30 hits.
“It’s a confidence booster, I would say. As of lately we’ve been hitting really well,” Nelson Maldonado, who was 3-4 with a home run on Saturday, said. “We’ve had a really good approach at the plate and we’re doing what needs to be done at the plate.”
