Gators do that often for weekday games and save their top 3 arms for the weekend (arguably the best top 3 in the country). The are very willing to sacrifice Tuesday. I do like that our guys did what they should be doing to a 4/5 starter ... score. I also think we left a few out there. That's how most of your teams operate that have serious Omaha aspirations. Once you get into conference/tourney play, you're seeing your 1-3 starters and the same couple relievers. The only time you're digging down into those guys with 15 innings on the year is in a blowout one way or the other. Now once you get to Omaha, it's all hands on deck. You could be playing 8 games in 12 days like Coastal Carolina did last year. That tests your pitching depth unlike anything else you've seen during the season to that point.

The bulls controlled the Gators from the beginning. Gators scored runs the last two innings because of very sloppy Bulls pitching (lots of walks). The best part of the game was watching the Gator fans streaming out after the fifth inning. Actually got a lot of compliments from Gator fans about our freshman pitcher and how well we hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when we play a teams #1 or #2 starter, we're starting our best too. And our staff is at the tops in the NCAA for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we ever done that Never. This is the first time ever for us to beat both on the road in a single season, regardless of rankings. Whether we've beaten both when both were ranked Top 5 (regardless of home/away/neutral) I don't know. Any of you stat junkies know this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely FSU would have been ranked. Gators weren't great until a few years later if I recall. Pretty sure Joe Arnold was coaching UF back then, so I doubt they were ranked.

Looks like we beat them 3/4 times in the regular season but lost in the Regionals. The Gators were 44-22 that year, made the Regionals so its possible they were ranked when we beat them.
