Florida (21-19) handed top ranked Florida State (35-5) its first loss at home this season as the Gators won the season series from the Seminoles with a 5-4 victory Wednesday night at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles left 13 runners on base as they couldn't comeback after spotting the Gators five runs through the first three innings. Buster Posey led Florida State with a three hit effort on the night, while the Seminole bullpen shut out the Gators for 6.1 innings allowing just five hits and striking out eight.
The Seminoles had no problems getting runners on, they just couldn't get them across the plate as they left the bases loaded in the third and had four innings where they had at least two runners stranded on base. Florida center fielder Matt den Dekker played a major role in that spot as he made a tremendous catch on the run in the bottom of the fourth on a ball hit by Jack Rye. den Dekker leaped into the air and hung on to the ball as he crashed into the wall in right center.
