Florida baseball kept its postseason hopes alive with a 7-1 win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the first second on Sunday of the Gainesville Regional. After defeating the Florida A&M Aggies and losing to the Texas Tech Raiders, the Gators earned a chance to enact revenge for their loss on Saturday and came through, leading to Monday’s grand finale.
Following the afternoon win over Connecticut, Kevin O’Sullivan quickly named freshman left-hander Cade Fisher the starter. Fisher had made only one start all year but was a valuable piece of the bullpen all year long, serving as the team’s No. 2 left-handed reliever.
Florida’s bats were much hotter than the box score might suggest but still managed to break through when it mattered. Brandon Neely secured his 12th save of the season through two innings of relief.
