Here is your ACC Recap for March 6th.

#1 Florida 5 #26 Miami (FL) 3

No. 1 Florida (10-1) used a three-run sixth inning to snap a 2-2 tie on its way to a 5-3 victory over No. 24 Miami (4-7) to complete a weekend sweep on Sunday afternoon in front of 4,114 fans at McKethan Stadium. The Gators had never been perfect against the Hurricanes in a three-game set in Gainesville and took all three meetings from the Hurricanes for only the second time in school history (Feb. 17-19, 2006).

In addition, UF was undefeated in the regular-season series versus Miami for just the seventh time following 2-0 triumphs in 1948 (Gainesville), 1954 (Coral Gables), 1956 (Coral Gables), 1976 (Gainesville) and 1978 (Gainesville) and the 3-0 sweep in 2006 (Coral Gables). Head coach Kevin O’Sullivan’s club has now taken nine of the last 10 encounters from the Hurricanes, including six in a row. The 10-1 start for the Gators equals the squad’s best since 2003.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Radford rallied for the second straight game by scoring three ninth-inning runs, and Jason Patten (Davidsonville, Md./Archbishop Spalding) worked out of a bases-loaded situation in the bottom half to keep Wake Forest off the board and lead the Highlanders to a 5-4 win on Sunday night.

After trailing 4-2 heading into the ninth, Radford (6-4) loaded the bases with one out, scratching across a run on a walk to Matt Mack (Davidsonville, Md./St. John’s College H.S.), then Alex Guerra (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh)’s groundout on a potential game-ending double-play ball brought home Zach Costello (South Riding, Va./Paul VI) to tie it at 4-4. A wild pitch to Cory Turner (Manassas, Va./Osbourn) with two outs scored Jeff Kemp (Bowie, Md./Archbishop Spalding) from third with the go-ahead run to give Radford its first lead.
