The
Commodores (21-4, 5-1 SEC) took a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning
only to see the Gators (11-14, 2-4) go up 4-2 by the fourth inning
thanks in part to solo home runs by Taylor Gushue and Justin Shafer.
Vanderbilt
then scored single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings for the
win in the seven-inning game, which had a 49-minute weather delay.
Ryan
Harris (3-2), the fourth of five UF pitchers, took the loss. Brian
