Gators use trio of homers to take opener over LSU

The No. 8 Gators weren’t all that prolific at the plate on Friday night against LSU. They only notched seven hits, and they went 2-for-16 with runners on base. No Gator had a multi-hit game.

Normally, that’s not a recipe for winning.

But it is when you can launch balls out of the park at just the right moments. Florida belted three home runs to easily defeat the No. 21 Tigers, 7-2, in the series opener at Florida Ballpark.

Colby Halter and BT Riopelle clubbed solo shots off of LSU starter Blake Money, while Wyatt Langford blasted a two-run shot to pretty much remove all doubt about the game’s outcome.
