The Gators threw five freshmen pitchers on the mound in their winners’ bracket game against Oklahoma on Saturday night, and the results weren’t pretty.
They combined to walk seven batters, give up four home runs, throw two wild pitches, hit a batter and commit a balk. Starter Brandon Neely didn’t make it out of the third inning.
Every time that the Gators scored, the Sooners responded with at least one run of their own in the following half inning.
That type of pitching performance wasn’t anywhere near good enough for UF to beat a team of Oklahoma’s caliber.
