For the second time in three games, No.6 Florida entered the bottom of the 9th trailing No.21 Mississippi State. Down by one run, Jac Caglianone launched a middle cut fastball onto the berm in right field, a two-run blast that secured Florida’s 16th straight home series win.
“Really just see the ball up,” Caglianone said on his approach during his final at bat. “He had a good change-up, a tight slider, a little ride on his heater, so you kind of had to pick one and wait for it.”
Mississippi State hadn’t thrown Caglianone many strikes all game, walking him three times including an intentional walk with nobody on base in the 5th inning.
