With the Texas Tech baseball team and the home-standing Florida Gators locked in a 3-3 impasse in the bottom of the 8th on Saturday night, the Red Raiders found their superstar slugger, Gavin Kash, at the plate with a runner on and two outs. With the count at 3-2, the partisan Gainesville crowd rose to its feet and tried to coax strike three into existence. Then, with one swing, Kash wrote his name in the annals of Red Raider baseball history.
As the lefty made contact with the ball, the Gator faithful let out a collective and noticeable “Oh…” in despair as Kash launched the ball over the fence in left-center to give the No.
