Here is your ACC Recap for Feb. 24th.
#2 Florida 4 Boston College 0
Florida sophomore left-hander Brian Johnson (Cocoa Beach, Fla.) retired the first 17 hitters of the game and combined on a two-hit shutout with classmate Steven Rodriguez (Miami, Fla.) as the No. 1 Gators (5-0) defeated Boston College (2-2), 4-0, in the opener of a three-game series on Thursday at McKethan Stadium.
Johnson (2-0) established a school record with 27-consecutive batters retired after setting down the final 10 USF batters last Friday night, eclipsing the previous mark of 23 set by Bryan Augenstein against Cincinnati on Feb. 11, 2006. Johnson’s stretch versus the Eagles was the second-longest by a Gator pitcher to open a game behind Augenstein and he has tossed 12 scoreless innings to begin the season. Johnson allowed one hit and had five strikeouts over six innings against BC and Rodriguez followed with three innings of one-hit ball, in which he tallied three strikeouts, to earn his first save of the year.
