Florida sophomore righty Liam Peterson (8-4) took the loss for UF, allowing four runs (two earned) over 1 1/3 innings against the Pirates.
“We didn’t get off to a good start on the mound,” Florida baseball coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “I had to go visit the mound in the first. Had to go to the bullpen in the second. I didn’t see this coming. We had been playing so well.”
