OMAHA, Neb — Alex Faedo walked out of the Florida Gators locker room after everyone else had already spilled out and onto the field. The junior sat quietly before going through his normal pre-game routine. Nobody talked to the stone-faced ace as he sat alone in the dugout or as he warmed up in the left field bullpen.
TCU didn’t have anything to say to Faedo either.
Florida’s ace was unhittable early as the Florida Gators beat TCU 3-0 to open their run at the College World Series.
“I try to pitch big in big games,” Faedo told Gator Country.
