It took the Florida Gators (36-10, 16-5 SEC) a little time to wake up from Friday night’s Game Two nightmare, but once they did, the Auburn Tigers (31-14, 10-11 SEC) stood no chance.
Pitching took the step it needed to and the offense came back to life as the Gators defeated the Tigers 12-3 and kept their weekend series winning streak intact.
Freshman pitcher Jack Leftwich earned his first weekend start over the struggling Tyler Dyson, but it looked like the change would not end those struggles early on.
Whether it was nerves or something else, he could not find his control to start the game.
