We made the one error at third, but other than that, it was very clean. Our pitching was efficient. We were able to getout of there with 76 pitches. The goal was to keep him at 80 (pitches) or less because last week he threw a complete game down at Miami. It was a great Friday night victory for us against a really quality pitcher."On's seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts:"He was really good. He and I had a really good rhythm. He changed speeds early in the count and did a really nice job of getting leadoff hitters out and staying ahead of them. That was the challenge for him tonight. It's easy when you have such a great start the week before to not be as ready to pitch, and he was outstanding. That's what Friday night guys do."On the Gators winning the opener of the series:"They did a great job keeping us off balance early. Credit our hitters, they put some good runs up on the board. I made some pitches early in the count and kept my pitch count down and really just tried to attack and let my defense play for me again. It's kind of been our thing these past couple weeks – our defense playing really well."On his RBI single in the first inning:"It was a good offensive count. I got a pitch to hit and wanted to capitalize and set the tone for the game and kind of get us going a little bit in the right direction on a Friday night and take the momentum into tomorrow."The Gators and Big Green will continue the series on Saturday at 4 p.m., with junior LHP(0-1, 2.70) facing junior RHP Jackson Bubala (0-1, 18.00).
