Shaun Anderson pumped his first as Dalton Guthrie fired to first for the 27th out on Tuesday night, sealing a 3-2 win for the No. 2 Florida Gators (24-3, 4-2 SEC) over instate rival Florida State (18-6, 6-1 ACC). Coming off of back-to-back losses to Kentucky the Florida Gators didn’t have time to feel sorry for themselves.

Florida State had two games rained out the previous weekend, so normal Saturday starter, Drew Carlton, earned a rare midweek start and he mowed Florida down in order in the first inning. The next frame went better. Kowar retired the first two before another surrendering another two-out hit, but this one stayed in the park and Darren Miller’s pop fly to right ended the second. Deacon Liput singled with one out in the second, bringing up Mike Rivera. Florida’s designated hitter watched a strike, stepped out of the box and gathered his composure. Carlton set from the stretch but let a changeup float high. “I don’t try to hit home runs. That’s not my game,” Rivera, who leads the team with six home runs, said. “He just threw me a changeup up and I hit it.” Florida added a run in the bottom of the third when Jonathan India — who walked, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout by Dalton Guthrie — scored on Buddy Reed’s triple down the right field line. Kowar worked quickly in the top of the fourth, getting a fly out and a line out before Jackson Lueck singled to left — the Noles’ third two-out hit of the night. What happened next is a pitcher’s

Andrew Knapp then grounded out to end the
The last meeting between the Pilots and Ducks was an exciting game for the Ducks. Oregon opened the game scoring three runs in the first inning thanks to well-executed plays at the plate much like Kyle Kasser’s slash single, which moved Austin Grebeck into scoring position.

Morales had to be strong as Adam Polansky matched him, pitch-for-pitch, through the first five innings. He allowed one unearned run and two hits before Altamonte Springs broke open the game with five runs. His pitching line was not indicative of how well he pitched, and he took a tough loss.

The Royals ended up winning the game 5-4, even without Brett.
