No. 13 Florida Tramples Jacksonville

If you lose your first conference series of the season, it always stings, but three consecutive defeats against No. 2 last weekend Florida sparked five places in the NCAA ranking.

Florida (17-5, 0: 3 seconds), the loss of the season in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the first series of the first series of the first series, returned home in the Condron Family Baseballpark on a sunny Tuesday evening to face Jacksonville University (11-9, 2-1).

The dolphins entered the battle on Tuesday, which two victories handed down against unf. Ju won his first conference in the series on Sunday, but knew that it would need more to overcome Team No. 13 of the nation. Florida's hard home environment and an offensive increase were too much for Jacksonville to deal with the 16: 4 victory on Tuesday on the 16th victory of the Gator.

Florida turned to the newcomer Righty Jackson Barberi on the hill and was looking for an outstanding effort of the young weapon that received nine outs. Barberi threw three innings and scored three strikes, each of which connected his season height. Nevertheless, he was pulled to start the fourth after hit the leading junior Blake Edmonds with a 2-0 field.

Ju Sophomore second Baseman Jonah Shields started the game with a single on the right field line in second place, which he saw. UF Junior Catcher Luke Heyman threw him out when he tried to steal the second.

Jacksonville had the junior right-handed man Aaron Zenus on the bump, which was hit in his second and final Inning of Work with turbulence. Zenus went after the second Baseman Cade Kurland and the Sophomore, which was selected as Hitter Landon Stripling, and made it possible to rip an RBI single in the middle. Evans' bashit presented the gators 1-0. Finally, Junior dropped Justin Nadeau with two outs and the invited bases to Zenus to end the inning.

The second right-handed Pitcher Grant Brooks took over in the third for Zenus, but it wasn't better. Brooks gave Junior Shortstop Colby Shelton and Heyman in successive center field singles before allowed a three-run explosion to the first Baseman Brendan Lawson on his first field.

The right-handed Freshman right-handed Christian Rodriguez made Barberi made it easier in fourth with a runner on board. Then he immediately gave up a Homerun to make the right field Blake Delamielleurs. The dolphins cut 4-2 in Florida's lead, but Rodriguez fought back for three quick outs to limit the damage.

Florida exploded three other runs in the bottom of the inning, which were stimulated by a Nadeau-Lead-off-floor double-double-field. After Shelton's two RBI single, who scored Nadeau and brought Florida 5-2, Brooks looked shaky on the hill and scored Heyman.

The Jacksonville coach, Chris Hayes, was at the bump in the second year, to see the Gator, who started a three-run Homerun of him in the Inning Prior, and Lawson made him pay. The newcomer connected itself to a 3-2-ton height and tore it into the left midfield to make the base doubles to extend Florida's lead to 7: 2. Donay came to Kurland in the third inning after the second Baseman found the team's coach that something was wrong and the game left. Donay recorded a hit in the third goal, but was bumped into the right -handed man of JU by the right -handed man Caleb Freeman to end the fourth and leave Florida's leadership by five.

Florida returned to work in the fifth inning when Freeman met both Evans and the second field from Center Hayden Yost to quickly bring two runners on board. This put the stage for a Homerun in Nadeau on the right field, which Florida brought the biggest lead over the past few years in the last four games.

UF Junior Reliever Janssens began to stage two outs in the sixth. The second third Baseman Cade Hentz followed with an RBI-Infield single, which lowered the score to 10: 4 before Janssens put an end to the dolphins of Two-out rally.

Freeman started sixth place by walking two direct battery and giving up a three-run tager for stripping. After Freeman had gone another dough, he made room for the newcomer Lefthaander Kyle Powers.

Powers made it possible for a Yost -Single, Nadeau RBI Fielder's Choice and Shelton RBI Single before Shields threw the ball away while choosing an RBI field player. When the sixth inning came to an end, Florida dangled a 16: 4 lead in front of a JU team that was fighting to find an arm that could surpass the elite crime of the Gator.

Janssens excluded the second Sophomore Trent Kelly on three parking spaces to illuminate the audience, end the game and seal another running rule for Florida.

After the Rout of the Dolphins on Tuesday, Florida will start a new winning streak on Wednesday when et Florida A&M takes place on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
