When the visiting Jacksonville Dolphins stormed the grass of Florida Ballpark Friday night, the Gators’ bullpen appeared rudderless, far from ready for conference competition.
Florida led 4-2 after six innings, but the arms and the gloves faltered from there. Across the final three innings, Jacksonville reeled in eight runs on nine hits, three sacrifice flies and a quartet of Florida fielding errors.
