Casey Turgeon delivered a squeeze bunt single to bring home the winning run in the 10th inning and give Florida a 6-5 victory over Connecticut on Sunday in Gainesville, completing a three-game sweep.
The Gators (10-6) won each game in the series in extra innings over the Huskies (4-8). UF, which prevailed 1-0 in 11 innings Friday and 2-1 in 10 innings Saturday, has won four games in a row overall.
Florida’s Taylor Gushue, who went 2-for-3 with three RBIs, tied the score at 5 with a one-out solo homer in the ninth.
Josh Tobias led off the Gators’ 10th with a triple to left-center off reliever Patrick Routolo (1-2). After Richie Martin drew a one-out walk, the Huskies brought in pitcher David Mahoney. Turgeon (3-for-5) then dragged a bunt up the first-base line to score Tobias for his second walk-off single in the past three days. He also had the winning hit in Friday’s game.
No. 2 Florida State 7, Maryland 0: Sophomore right-hander Mike Compton struck out a career-high 10 and walked none in pitching a two-hitter as the host Seminoles (12-2, 2-1 ACC) beat the Terrapins (9-4, 1-2) in the series' rubber game.
The shutout by Compton (2-0), who missed all of last season after having Tommy John surgery, was the first by FSU since Rhett James recorded one in an 8-0 win at Virginia on May 7, 2004.
The Noles broke a scoreless tie with six fourth-inning runs off Terps starter Jared Price (1-2). John Nogowski had a two-run double, and he and John Sansone each finished with two hits and a run scored.
No. 16 Miami 4, Boston College 3: Junior left-hander Andrew Suarez (2-1) allowed one unearned run and four hits in seven innings to lead the Hurricanes (10-5, 3-0 ACC) past the visiting Eagles (6-9, 0-3) to finish a three-game series sweep.
David Thompson went 3-for-4 with an RBI single in a four-run sixth-inning that gave the Canes a 4-0 lead. UM, which has won five straight games, held on from there.
Lynn 11, Winona State (Minn.) 4: Alex DeBellis hit a two-run homer to help the host Fighting Knights (18-4) defeat the Warriors (2-3). Lynn lost to Winona State 7-3 on Saturday.
