The Gators’ team-wide slump continued on Thursday night in the series opener against No. 2 Arkansas.
The offense generated just one run on three hits. The pitching staff fell apart in the ninth inning after doing a pretty good job for most of the game.
The result was an all too familiar one for the Gators – a blowout loss. The Razorbacks won the game, 8-1, and in doing so dealt UF (19-11, 3-7 SEC) its sixth consecutive loss in SEC play.
“We had two [hit batters] again to lead off innings, and they both end up scoring,” UF coach Kevin O’Sullivan said.
