Leftwich leads Gators to opening series win over Marshall

If the Florida Gators want to get back to Omaha they’re going to need their junior pitchers to show up on Friday and Saturday.

After a rough, injury-plagued sophomore season, Jack Leftwich showed up on Saturday night leading the Florida Gators to a 10-0 win to clinch the series over Marshall.

Leftwich surrendered two hits in the first inning but was able to hold the Herd off the scoreboard. After the second hit he allowed, Leftwich retired seven consecutive batters.

For three innings Brady Choban matched Leftwich pitch for pitch. The sophomore threw three innings before surrendering a hit.
