The Gators will play their second game of the College World Series on Monday afternoon.
baseball had its chances on Saturday night. In a game that started late Saturday and finished Sunday morning due to a lengthy rain delay that pushed the start time back three hours, the Gators left 10 runners on base.
But the timely and clutch hits disappeared in Florida’s first game in Omaha. They struck out 16 times against Texas A&M pitching. The last time Florida lost its opening game in the College World Series was 2018. They bounced back in the loser bracket to initially avoid elimination but eventually lost in the national semifinal.
Jac Caglianone will start on the mound for Florida. He’ll look to put behind his most recent start in Omaha, which came last season, where he gave up six earned runs in 1.1 innings. Since then, he’s improved his command and has been one of the Gators’ most consistent pitchers. Logan Whitaker could get the start for NC State. He started in the Wolfpack’s most recent elimination game against Georgia in the Athens Super Regional. He went 4.1 innings, giving up two earned while striking out seven.
