Redshirt freshman Justin Starke had six hits on the day, but that was just about the only nice thing you could say for VMI as the Keydets were swept by Samford Friday, 25-1 and 11-5.
The Bulldogs (26-19/16-7 SoCon) hit eight home runs in the two games, including three from Max Pinto in the nightcap.
Game 1
Samford jumped out early with six runs in the top of the first inning of the opener. The Bulldogs followed with five in the fifth and 12 in the sixth and the game was called after seven due to the conference’s 10-run rule.

Hunter Barco, a 19-year-old UF business administration freshman, pitches in an exhibition game against Georgia. He threw one inning and struck out three batters against the Bulldogs.
The three-game series will play from Friday to Sunday, with Friday’s first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Florida’s starters for the weekend have yet to be announced, but last weekend’s rotation of Tommy Mace, Jack Leftwich and Hunter Barco will likely maintain its order on the mound.
