It was Flat Tuesday at the ballpark for the Florida Gators on Tuesday night.
Coming off an emotional series victory at Vanderbilt over the weekend, the No. 4 Gators seemed to have no energy left for in-state rival Jacksonville University at McKethan Stadium.
Lifeless at the plate, in the field and on the mound, the Gators were routed by the Dolphins 11-2. This writer thought Leon Polhill had more pull with JU, but obviously their coach pays no attention to older alumni.
UF (39-14, 20-7 SEC) now will quickly turn its attention to the upcoming three-game home series with Kentucky on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Gators are tied with Vanderbilt and South Carolina for the overall SEC lead. A UF sweep would guarantee a share of the SEC regular-season title for the Gators.
JU improved to 33-18 with the one-sided victory.
