JU starter Ben Baker-Livingston (1-1) weathered a three-run first inning, highlighted by Kyle Jones' leadoff homer for the Gators, and got the victory in six innings, allowing only one earned run.
The Dolphins tied Florida 3-3 in the third when Edmonds and Sammy Mummau singled and Roger Vergara scored Edmonds with a sacrifice fly. Derek Bermudez then doubled in Mummau and scored on Sam Grunberg's single.
JU went ahead with two runs in the seventh on Mummau's RBI double and another sacrifice fly by Vergara, and made it 7-3 in the eighth on two UF errors, Edmonds' run-scoring double and a sacrifice fly by Logan Barrata.
UF got two runs in the bottom of the eighth, one on Blake Cyr's solo homer and another when Karson Bowen doubled and scored on two fly balls. Ayden Phillips relieved Brodie Scott and got the third out, and Payton Waters pitched a hitless ninth for his first save of the season.
