Florida senior Cody Dent's first career home run highlighted an
offensive onslaught as the Gators bounced back from a three-game sweep
at No. 3 LSU with a dominant 22-1 win over Florida A&M (7-42) on
Monday night.
Harrison Bader and Christian Dicks each drove in
four runs, and Dent, Richie Martin and Zack Powers had three RBIs apiece
as Florida's bats produced season-high marks of 23 hits and 22 runs.
Justin
Shafer struck out a career-high eight batters in his fourth start of
the year as the UF sophomore lasted six innings, giving up only two hits
and one run on Aaron Smith's solo shot to left in the fourth inning.
Florida (26-23) will finish its non-conference schedule Tuesday when the Gators play host to Florida Atlantic at 7 p.m.
