GAINESVILLE- The Florida Gator baseball team opened their 2013 season on Friday against the Duke Blue Devils. 

It's a 3 game weekend tournament, and the Gators were looking to come out strong with their new crop of young players. 

Vetern Jonathon Crawford had 4 strike outs at nights end, but it wasn't enough, as Florida drops their opener 4-3.

Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan is keeping a season perspective on the loss.
