Redshirt senior catcher Matt Halloran stepped to the plate in the seventh inning Friday with the bases loaded, his team locked in a scoreless draw.
The Gophers were searching for their first victory of the season after a 0-7 start against two ranked opponents and staring at their best opportunity of the night.
And after Florida Gulf Coast pitcher Mike Murray delivered, Halloran got his bat on the ball.
A base-clearing single gave the Gophers the cushion they would need in their first victory of the season.
