Florida Gators Rally Past Dayton with Cade Kurland's Walk-Off Homer In a dominating performance, the Florida Gators secured their second consecutive win, defeating Dayton 12-2 in the series finale, thanks in large part to a monster game from pinch hitter Cade Kurland. The junior outfielder made the most of his limited playing time, hitting two home runs, including a walk-off blast in the bottom of the 8th inning that sealed the game via run rule.
