The Florida Gators remained perfect at 16-0 Sunday and Nathan Hickey’s week couldn’t have been any better.
The freshman touched them all for a fourth consecutive game, giving Florida a 2-1 lead that proved to be the final score. Hickey finished the week hitting .538 (7-13) with four home runs and six RBI.
“I got chills running around the bases,” Hickey said after the game. “Ever since I was a freshman (in high school) coming here I’ve been picturing myself doing something like that. For it to actually happen was mind-blowing.”
The eighth inning started off strangely.
