The Seminoles (20-3, 3-3 ACC) jumped on the Gators (14-10, 4-2 SEC) for 3 runs in the opening frame. With the bags loaded and one out, Creekside High School product Daniel Cantu produced a bases-clearing double down the right-field line to open a 3-0 lead.

In the seventh, Cantu led off with a solo home run to right-center, and then in the eighth, Cantu hit a grand slam to help run rule the Gators.
