Highlights
No. 23 UCF swept the two-game series against No. 1 Florida on Wednesday night, defeating the Gators 4-2 in Gainesville, while the conference collectively had a 3-4 day in nonconference action. The American will prepare for a 26-game weekend.
- UCF earned its third win this season over a top-25 opponent, as starter Joe Sheridan threw five innings, fanning four batters and scattering two hits and a run. First baseman Rylan Thomas went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
- Houston’s bats were alive, as the team collected 17 hits, fueled by the Cougars’ top-six batters in the lineup who each enjoyed a multi-hit game. Outfielder Landon Etzel and designated hitter Lael Lockhart Jr. each went 3-for-5 and combined for five RBIs.
- Starter Jake Agnos allowed two runs over five innings, while Chandler outfielder Jenkins and second baseman Brady Lloyd each collected a pair of hits, drove in a run and scored once helping No. 19 ECU to a 5-2 win over Charleston. Five different Pirates drove in a run, while designated hitter Dusty Burleson scored a team-high two runs. Jenkins, Lloyd and catcher Jake Washer also crossed home on the day.
