Man on 1B / 2 outs Jameson sits and #31 Fr LHP Menendez comes in (99.00, 0-0, 0.0 IP) B/Kc/B/B/Ks - Williamson flies out to left. HECK of a diving/sliding catch by Russell 0/0/0/1 UCF 9-6
The Gators have the potential to be more athletic. Russell should improve the lineup. Possibly make a change at third. Get Copela in the rotation and there could be some upside.
Bottom of the 9th New Earl is #30 RsSr RHP Kramer (5.14, 2-0, 7.0 IP) “Think they want it?” Albert to pinch hit B/Kc/B/Kc/Ft/Ks - Albert goes down swinging.
Man on 1B / 2 outs B/Kc/Kc - Robertson grounds out to 2B Final UCF 9-6 If I see any UCF fans on the way out, I’m going congratulate them on the National Championship!
Robertson is an automatic out with the bat. This team doesn't have many hitters that will grind at bats. Worried about this year....
Prob think this makes them national championship winners since we were there last year and they beat us this year prob something they’d come up with.
Robertson is hitting pretty good this year - .308 entering tonight and he got robbed tonight with a line drive up the middle that they made a good play on.
Very disappointing game on a few levels. McNeilly seems likely to be relegated to near bottom of the depth chart. Once, again, when we fall behind early, we try to rally but fall short with middle relief giving up a few key runs when a shutdown is in order. Gators seem to lack the fire power or fire in the belly that you would wish to see in your team to come back from initial adversity… UCF is a team that looks solid and may soon be challenging Gators for top state players.
