Early on in Wednesday’s matchup against Florida, it seemed like LSU could come away with the win. However, the Gators clawed back into the matchup, winning 4-3.
How It Happened
After a throwing error by the second baseman in the top of the second, Jake Slaughter made the Gators pay early on with a two-run blast over the left field wall to give them the early edge. Another throwing error in the third helped the Tigers make it 3-0 after a single out to right field by Daniel Cabrera.
The Gators weren’t about to go away though as they responded in the bottom frame with a three-run inning highlighted by an RBI double by Deacon Liput. Florida took the lead in the fifth with a two-out RBI single courtesy of Austin Langworthy.
Big Number: 8
The Tigers left them stranded quite a bit, eight to be precise and that might’ve been the difference maker in such a close ballgame.
Player of the Game: Jonathan India
The SEC Player of the Year had a couple of slip-ups early on, but redeemed himself at the plate, going two-of four including the game-tying RBI single through the left side.
