Florida Baseball Second Baseman Cade Kurland hits two home runs

Florida returning second baseman Cade Kurland notched his first two home runs of the season during Florida's third and final game of a series matchup against Dayton.

Despite not being listed in the starting lineup, Kurland entered the game off of the bench, eventually finishing the day two of three with two home runs. Today, success finally ended Kurland's home run drought, which had streaked to last season.

Kurland's walk-off second home run propelled Florida to a win over Dayton in run-rule fashion. The Gators rallied past the Flyers by a final score of 12-2. securing their second sweep of the season in dominating fashion. Florida won every game in the series through a run-rule, which occurs after a team leads by ten runs following the completion of the seventh inning (or half-inning, if applicable).

Pierce Coppola went five innings and struck out eight while giving up just one walk to collect his second win of the season. Luke McNeillie pitched two innings Aidan King pitched one. Ty Evans had two hits and two RBIs while Bobby Boser had one hit and three walks on the day.

The Gators will now look to midweek action against Stetson and North Florida before a weekend series against in-state rival Miami. Florida is off to a 7-0 start.
