Florida’s bats have caught fire against Kentucky so far this weekend. Add a quality start from Liam Peterson and you have a recipe for a victory.

It took extra innings, but No. 4 Kentucky baseball came back to beat Florida 12-11 in game one Friday afternoon. The Wildcats trailed by four after the fourth inning but they rallied behind home runs from Ryan Nicholson in the eighth and ninth inning.

Florida’s top performer at the plate was Dale Thomas, who went 3-for-4 for his first three-hit game as a Gator while also driving in two runs. Brody Donay went 2-for-6, Jac Caglianone went 2-for-3 and Colby Shelton went 2-for-5, and the trio all left the yard; Shelton posted a two-homer effort.
