After battling the rain in Gainesville during the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals, the Gators defeated Wake Forrest to punch their ticket to Omaha. The orange and blue are looking to defy all odds to make a deep run into the College World Series.
The first team in their path of destruction: the TCU Horned Frogs.
Gators starting pitcher Alex Faedo was outstanding from the get-go, striking out 6 batters in the first 3 innings and finishing the game with allowing only 2 hits.
The 18th overall selection in the 2017 MLB Draft threw 11 strikeouts in 7 innings pitched, retiring 10 straight batters at one point in the game.
