Kevin O’Sullivan’s 15-year tenure as the Gators’ head coach has been filled with spectacular pitching performances.
Hudson Randall’s 74-pitch complete game shutout of Tennessee in 2011. Jonathan Crawford’s no-hitter against Bethune-Cookman in the NCAA Tournament in 2012. And, of course, there are too many instances to name of guys like Logan Shore, Alex Faedo and Brady Singer pretty much willing the Gators to victory.
While the stakes weren’t particularly high in an early-season game against a Sun Belt team, what Hunter Barco and Nick Ficarrotta did against Georgia State on Friday night belongs in the conversation as one of the most dominant pitching efforts of the O’Sullivan era.
