What a wild night at Condron. Been going to Gator baseball games since the late 80s and that was one of the most unique, incredible games I have ever seen. Go Gators!
Cannot stress how much crowd has been a factor tonight. Complete mayhem here as Miami commits its fourth error and brings in another run for Florida. Gators lead 11-8.
This is unbelievable. The Gators have hit FIVE home runs in the eighth inning, including three straight jacks, and seven for the game.

Gators even the series behind a huge game from Caden McDonald, who hit 2 homers, went 4-for-5 with 6 RBI and had 4 Ks in 3.0 innings to earn the win. Retired the first 9 Sooners he faced.

Caden McDonald powers UF to a comeback win with his historic two-way performance.
He's the first Gator to hit two homers and throw three shutout innings since Jac Caglianone in 2023.
“This is one to remember for sure.”

The emergence of Caden McDonald cannot be understated. Another tremendous two-way performance to help Florida take the rubber game over Kentucky 9-6:
At the plate: 2-for-3, HR, BB, HBP, 2 RBI
On the mound: 4.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K
Dynamite.

Sophomore Caden McDonald earned a rare place in #Gators baseball history last night 😳
He went 4-5 with two doubles and two homers and had more RBI by himself (6) than Oklahoma's entire team (5). And in between mashing extra base hits, he shut down the Sooner bats with three scoreless innings on the mound (in fact only two runners even reached base against him.) Naturally, he was the winning pitcher for Florida.
The list of Gator baseball players to hit a home run, pitch 3+ innings of shutout ball, and be the winning pitcher is a very short one.
-Brian Johnson, 2010 vs. FAU (GNV Regional)
-Jac Caglianone, 2023 vs. Siena
-Caden McDonald, 2026 at Oklahoma
