It was a chilly Wednesday night, but the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) dugout brought the heat. The Owls were energetic from start to finish and it shows in how this game ended as FAU beat Florida 3-2 to drop the Gator record to 6-3 on the year. It was a low-scoring game fueled by good pitching. Franco Aleman takes the loss for the Gators giving up the winning run in the 10th inning.
After coming off a walk-off sweep over Samford with plenty of high-scoring finishes, the Wednesday night loss was atypical for the Orange and Blue.
Silent Night
So far this season, the one consistent thing for the Gators has been their offense. The lowest amount of runs Florida put on the scoreboard this season has been six in a loss to Miami. On Wednesday, they did not even get half that. Jacob Young provides energy to the offense yet again with two hits.
