FROM THE COACH: Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan on today's game: "There was a lot of positives in tonight's game. Blake had three hits, JJ had four hits, Deacon Liput got us off to a good start and had three hits. We had some really competitive at bats the whole night, we got their starter's pitch count up. He was throwing the ball really well. And we played great defense.
 
"Obviously the story of the night was Brady on the mound. You just don't see a complete-game shutout on the road in this league, especially on a Friday night. He was really, really impressive. He was really good tonight.
 
"Going back to the offense, we had I think nine two-strike hits tonight. We had the four-run sixth inning where we had two outs, nobody on. It was just a really nice game all around. Brady was phenomenal and offensively we were really good tonight."
 
STANDOUT STAT: 9.0 – Brady Singer went nine shutout innings on Friday, the longest outing by a Florida pitcher this season and the first complete-game shutout of his career. It's the first complete game shutout since Logan Shore beat Georgia on April 22, 2016.
