Brendan Lawson leads the way while Florida Gator loses three games

Gainesville, Florida-Da's baseball program from Florida Gator, may have reached the Jackpot with his recruitment of the High School in Infielder Brendan Lawson, who connected a career high with five RBIs when the Jacksonville (16: 4) sets up in Condron Ballpark on Tuesday.

Lawson, who went 3: 4, was one of three Gators who reached a Homerun with three runs that night and arrived in the third inning for his fifth home win of the season. He later added a double-double-ainning to bring the Gator 7-2 in the lead.

The performance on Wednesday also marked its sixth game this season with several RBIs.

“He doesn't swing and missed a great night on the plate. A really good night on the plate,” said UF head coach Kevin O'Sullivan. “A bunch of boys.”

For the first time, Ty Evans had brought Florida to the board with an RBI single in the second inning, his third RBI in two games, and Colby Shelton added his own RBI single in the fourth inning before Lawson's Homerun.

Outfield Justin Nadeau, who spent the first two seasons of his career at Jacksonville, led four RBIs, including a three-run Homerun from the scoreboard in the right field in the fifth inning and marked his first home run of the season.

“I try to stay true to myself, especially when I play the game,” said Nadeau. “I just try to do my job, create competitive bats, bring the ball into play. I just got the right pitch at the right time, made a good momentum and felt really good from the bat.”

Landon Stripling added another Homerun with three runs in the sixth to provide the Gator a 12: 4 lead and bring Florida into the area of ​​the running rule.

Nadeau later scored two batteries with the choice of a field player before Shelton scored him with his second RBI base hit of the night. Bobby Boser rounded off the runs of the Gator after having off the election of a field player on a large big one by Luke Heyman.

In the meantime, the newcomer Righty Jackson Barberi, who was a rough excursion of three strikes against two goals and a deserved run on Saturday in Tennessee on Saturday, who had relieved a Homerun with two runs.

“I thought he was quite efficient,” said Kevin O'Sullivan. “The goal was to keep it on about 45 parking spaces and get it out again after the weekend.”

Nike Janssens ended the night with 2.1 Innerings and made two deserved runs and three goals with three strikes.

Cade Kurland injured

During his first appearance since a shoulder injury on March 1st against Miami, the second Baseman Cade Kurland's return ended prematurely after the junior had left the game in the third in the middle of its second bat. Kurland showed a complete count and stated that something was wrong before leaving the game after visiting O'Sullivan and a trainer.

He was replaced by Brody Donay's list, who immediately recorded a base reffer when Lawson took over the second basis. Kurland ended the evening with a walk and two infield templates.

“The shoulder didn't come out. That is the encouraging,” said O'Sullivan. “If that were the case, it would of course be a completely different situation. I just saw how he would grimace a little at the second swing, and there is no point in putting it right there. He will come with the coaches, and you will look at it, but as I said, the most important thing is that it is not a bit too early.”

Next up

The Gators, who lost a defeat with three games after the end of the weekend of Tennessee, will stay at home for a matchup against Florida A&M on Wednesday. The first pitch is planned for 6:30 p.m. with streaming cover in the Sec Network+.
