If you’re a Gator fan (and I’m assuming you are since you’re on GatorCountry.com), what you saw on Friday night/early Saturday morning at Founders Park was cruel and unusual punishment.
After a 5 hour-and-31-minute game full of twists and turns and emotional highs and lows, the No. 5 Gators dropped the longest game in school history timewise 9-8 in 14 innings to No. 25 South Carolina in game one of the series.
With two outs in the top of the 14th, Nathan Hickey belted a home run to straightaway center field that gave the Gators (16-6, 3-1 SEC) the 8-7 lead.
