Walks, errors, missed opportunities and a four hour running time made the Florida Gators’ 2019 season opener an interesting one, but for the sixth season in a row Florida opened the year 1-0.
The Gators used a pair of four-run innings to take down the Long Beach State Dirtbags 8-2 in front of 4,581 at McKethan Stadium.
“It was a weir night,” Kevin O’Sullivan said. “We dropped two balls on the corner, which we haven’t done. We had some miscommunication between the pitcher and the catcher with Tyler and Brady. We had nine walks and two hit batters which is pretty uncharacteristic of us.
