Florida splits Sunday doubleheader, takes road series over Auburn

The Gators squandered a lead in Game 1, but a victory in Game 2 was enough to clinch a victory in the weekend series against Auburn.

Florida’s seven-game winning streak may have come to an end in its Sunday doubleheader against Auburn, but the Gators managed to secure a second-straight series win by splitting the two games.

After Saturday’s Game 2 was rained out, UF dropped the rescheduled bout in the first leg of the shortened seven-inning doubleheader in a high-scoring affair. But Florida survived a late push from Auburn in a much more defensive Game 3 to take the series over the SEC bottom-feeding Tigers.

Here’s a rundown of how each game played out. The Gators will be back in action for a critical series next weekend against No. 2 Vanderbilt.
