In the third game, redshirt sophomore got the ball with the task of keeping the Gators at bay. He was able to strike out eight batters over five innings, but he did allow four ER on seven hits.
The Gators got on the board in the second inning, when John Sternagel crushed a two-run home run, scoring Josh Tobias.
In the following inning, Tobias stayed red-hot with a home run of his own to extend the lead to 3-0.
The Gators extended the lead in the fifth inning with an RBI single by Harrison Badar.
In the eighth, the Sea Wolves mustered a run on a run-scoring single by Jeremy Giles. They added a run in the ninth when Malcolm Nachmanoff drove in a run of his own with a single.
