 How They Scored

  • With two outs in the first, Jackson Kritsch fielded a routine ground ball but sailed the throw to first, which allowed a run to score and the inning to continue. Nick Sheehan then doubled the lead with a two-out RBI single.
  • The Gators got a run back in the bottom of the first. Kritsch and Brady Dorn drew back-to-back walks with one out and Kritsch scored on Harley Lopez's single through the right side.
  • Another error in the third led to a pair of Otters runs in the fourth. Sheehan and Reed Oster added on with back-to-back two-out RBI singles to extend the deficit to 6-1.
  • In the fourth, Harley Lopez and Trevor Rogers both singled. Shaq Robinson struck out, which should have ended the inning, but catcher Bo Boisvert fired over the first baseman's head into right field, which allowed Lopez and Rogers to both score unearned.
  • Brian Morley had a solo home run in the fifth but the Gators got the run back on Dorn's RBI triple.
  • Jason Hare's RBI single in the sixth pulled the Gators to within a run.
  • The Gators third error of the game led to another run in the seventh. TJ Dove reached and later scored on Kyle Dean's single off of pitcher Luke Genova's glove. The Otters added another run on Brian Morley's RBI single that pushed the lead to 9-5.
  • The Gators rallied in the bottom half of the inning. Dorn walked but was caught stealing after new catcher Mason Allen threw a ball high but in time to get Dorn at second. With two outs, Lopez second, Riley Cleary was hit by a pitch, and Rogers uncorked on a ball to pull the Gators within one.
  • Dove singled in another run in the eighth. The Gators got what they thought was an inning-ending double play but the Gators didn't get the out call at second. Instead, they settled for a fielder's choice and Dean drove home another run before SF State got out of the inning. Shaq Robinson singled in the eighth but Sean McClure shut the Gators down after that.

 On the Mound
  • The Gators used the bullpen approach on Thursday. Freshman Ryan Nabas (1-2) went two innings in his first career start. He got two quick outs to begin the game but issued a pair of walks and a routine ground ball resulted in an error and two unearned runs. He got a double play ball in the second but saw his day end after issuing two more walks to begin the third.
  • Daniel Jimenez relieved Nabas in the third and got a ground ball but a throwing error allowed two runs as part of a four-run third. Jimenez got a shutdown inning in the fourth.
  • Ryan Nabas came on in the fifth. He allowed a solo homer and pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning.
  • Luke Genova pitched an inning and a third but surrendered four runs, three earned.
  • Luis Salinas went the final inning and two thirds and recorded a strikeout.
  • Daniel Harris (3-4) got the win for the Otters. He allowed two runs and struck out seven over six innings of work. Michael Scolaro gave up the three-run homer to Rogers and McClure picked up his third save.
