For the sweep! TV: ESPN 2 Radio: WRUF 850 AM / 98.1 FM https://www.audacy.com/stations/espn850am# Stats: StatBroadcast Live Stat Feed Game Notes: 4 18 Mississippi State (PDF) - Florida Gators Weather: 79 Deg at the start and 82 at finish (unless we go over 3 hours ). No precip. S wind @ 11-13 = blowing out to left field. Starting Gator: #9 So RHP McNeillie (4.24, 3-1, 34.0 IP) Starting Earl: #31 Sr RHP Ligon (5.13, 3-4, 33.1 IP) Go Gators!
Hoping McNeilie has his A game and Donay stays hot. Either the Cowbells don't have the right scouting report on Donay or he has made the necessary adjustments.
We faced Ligon back in '23 when he was with Miami and roughed him up some. I was at the game. Ligon left in the 5th or 6th on the losing end of 6-1 and then the Gators Pen blew up and gave up something like 12 runs in the last 3 innings or so. One of those days. Let's keep the bats hot and knock him out early today. McN gives us 5 strong innings, we get the sweep and go to 7-11. In the hunt again!
