OMAHA — Peter Alonso homered in the bottom of the ninth in the last game of the season. It will not, though, be a cherished memory.
The lofty expectations of the Florida Gators crashed to the ground Tuesday with a 3-2 loss to Texas Tech in the College World Series. The Gators, top seed in the tournament, were eliminated after going 0-2 in Omaha. It was the Red Raiders’ (47-19) first CWS win in their second appearance.
Texas Tech added a run in the top of the ninth on play where Gators Danny Reyes and Alonso each made an error.
