The ball felt good off of his bat and it found the gap in right-center but there was only one thing on Isaac Nunez’s mind — finding his dad.
“My dad has been one of the biggest influences of my life. I saw him, he’s pointing at me, I’m pointing back at him. We made eye contact and it’s a great moment,” Nunez said. “We know how hard we worked together, not just me, not just him, together. It’s a very special moment for me.”
Nunez’s first hit of his career had just given the No. 2 Florida Gators a 4-3 win over Jacksonville in extra innings to keep the team a perfect 5-0 on the season.
