TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Matt Bentley's sacrifice fly scored Jeff Texada from second to lift Alabama over Florida 8-7 in a comeback victory Sunday.

Alabama (30-22, 14-13 in Southeastern Conference) scored six runs in the final two innings. Florida (30-20, 14-13 SEC) scored single runs in each of the first three innings to take a 3-0 lead.

Alabama trailed 7-2 with two outs in the eighth inning, but scored five runs to tie the game and set up the ninth-inning Texada score.

Austin Graham (5-1), earned the win with 3 2/3 innings of relief. He allowed one run and three hits and struck out three batters.

Clint Franklin (3-3) took the loss. He allowed one run and one hit in two-thirds of an inning.
