Mike Zunino wasn’t able to match Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton’s four home run night at the plate, but the Florida catcher didn’t do so badly himself.

The reigning SEC Player of the Year roped a double down into the left-field corner to plate walk-on Connor Mitchell in the bottom of the 11th inning to give Florida (36-13) a walk-off, 4-3 win over North Florida (28-21) on Tuesday night.

“Connor had one heck of an at-bat to start it off, and I was just lucky get a good pitch to hit there,” Zunino said. “I put a good swing on it.”
