Head coach Kevin O’Sullivan didn’t put much thought into who would start on the mound for Florida’s first game of the College World series against Texas A&M. True freshman right-handed pitcher Liam Peterson was named starter on Wednesday afternoon.
“I don’t like to make major changes this time of year,” O’Sullivan said on Thursday. “We’ve gotten to this point because we’ve done it a certain way. Liam has pitched really well against some really good teams down the stretch.”
Peterson struggled in his Super Regional start at Clemson, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks in his lone inning pitched.
