Turning Point ?
After Stony Brook scored in the opening frame, Florida tied it up with a single run in the fourth inning and took the lead with two runs in the fifth inning.
Quoting head coach Matt Senk
"
Brian Herrmann and
Aaron Pinto pitched extremely well and gave us a chance to get a big win today. However, when you make mistakes as we did in the fifth inning outstanding teams like Florida will almost always make you pay. We will regroup and learn from this weekend and look forward to getting home to play 15 games at Joe Nathan Field throughout the month of March."
