Tampa Bay scored twice in the bottom of the 12th to beat Milwaukee 4-3 in Game 4 of the World Series and avoid a sweep. The Brewers lead 3-1 with Game 5 on Wednesday at Tropicana Field, and no former Gators are on the Rays' roster.

Urban Klavzar and Denzel Aberdeen combined for 46 points and 10 3-pointers as No. 1 Florida beat Stetson 85-68 in its exhibition finale, nine days after a 4-for-29 night from deep against Baylor. The bench and the defense still have work to do before Miami.
