Freshman Hudson Randall (1-0) threw five scoreless innings in his first collegiate start as No. 5 Florida (4-0) registered a 7-6 victory over UCF (3-1) on Wednesday night at McKethan Stadium. Junior Kevin Chapman kept the Knights off the board for 1.2 innings to earn his first career save in a game that was delayed for 26 minutes at the outset due to steady rain in the area. Gator starting pitchers have not allowed an earned run in 18.1 innings this season.

The Gators have now claimed their last three meetings against UCF.

Florida senior Matt den Dekker increased his hitting streak to 13 games for the third time in his career and picked up his fourth straight multiple-hit game.
