No.6 Florida combined for five runs in the 8th and 9th inning to secure their 7th comeback win of the season on Friday night, defeating No.21 Mississippi State 7-6 in walk off fashion.
Sophomore infielder Cade Kurland delivered the final blow in the 9th inning with the bases loaded and two outs. After being called for a strike before stepping into the box, the Florida native ripped a single through the middle of the infield on an 0-2 count, scoring Ty Evans from third base.
“Just a matter of simplifying, taking a step back, relaxing, and not trying to do too much, especially when you get down two strikes,” Kurland said on his walk off single.
