Panthers Fall 4-1 at No. 15 Florida

GAINESVILLE, FLA -- Georgia State lost 4-1 at No. 15 Florida Friday night at Florida Ballpark

Georgia State jumped in front quickly as Josh Smith led off the game with a triple and scored on Cameron Jones' groundout for the early 1-0 lead.

But that was all the Panthers would get against Florida starter Hunter Barco (2-0), who was dominant, allowing just one run and three hits while striking out 12 in six innings. The left-hander is the reigning National Pitcher of the Week after striking out 11 last Friday.

The Gators answered with two in the bottom half and then moved ahead 3-1 on a solo homer by Langford. Rivera added a solo homer in the 8th for the final margin.

Georgia State starter Brandon Kaminer (0-1) pitched into the fifth inning and allowed four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts. Relievers Johnny Dow (1.2 innings) and Seth Clark (1 inning) followed with scoreless outings. The GSU bullpen combined to allow just one run and two hits in four innings. 

The series continues with a 4 p.m. game Saturday on SECN+.
