The University of Missouri baseball team fell to Florida in a dominant 11-2 victory for the Gators in the opening game of their Southeastern Conference series. Florida jumped to an early lead with a six-run first inning, powered by Luke Heyman’s four RBIs and a strong pitching performance by Liam Peterson. Despite Mizzou’s offensive effort in the third inning, highlighted by doubles from Chris Patterson and Peyton Basler, they couldn’t overcome Florida’s lead.
Mizzou’s Brady Kehlenbrink took the loss, while Luke Heyman and Blake Cyr hit back-to-back home runs for the Gators. Mizzou’s Gehrig Goldbeck and Keegan Knutson had solid offensive performances, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Florida’s dominant pitching and hitting.
The Tigers aim to bounce back in the second game of the series on Friday at 5:30 p.m. at Condron Family Ballpark. Mizzou will look to improve their 12-21 overall record and secure their first win in SEC play.
