    Tremendous win. That pretty much seals up and NCAA bid, IMO. But to win the series and then win the Bama series might get us a regional host. And we have our top starter going tomorrow. They said during the game that no team who started 2-10 or worse in the SEC has ever gotten and NCAA bid. Gators WILL be the first. Go Gators!!! Now tomorrow I expect Boser, Lawson, Heyman and CyR to light it up at the plate.

    Sully sez:
    • 6 run 1st settled our nerves
    • Barlow outstanding
    • only 3 BB & 16 SOs
    • we were 1-11 because not throwing strikes
    • pitching is lined up for the rest of the series

    Both can be true. :D

    This is exactly why I dislike putting management of that situation on the umpires. Let each coach manage their own team. Emphasize that if you don't like the other team celebrating, then play better.

    Go GATORS!

    I like the thinking, but not yet. 13-17 isn't going to cut it. We could still finish with an RPI around 20. But we get two shots to finish with a winning SEC road record, and those teams have done very well in the postseason.

    Go GATORS!

    Major kudos to the pitching. Only gave up 2 runs and should have been 0, with better defense plus 16Ks. . Coppola coming on just in time, probably the best Barlow has looked, McNeilie and Rodriquez closing it out.
    Also, moving Tybo to cleanup looks genius in retrospect, with his early rbi and 2 doubles for the game.

    Hoping for a great start Sat from Liam and more of the same from the bullpen.
