Fabian’s blast powers Gators past Vanderbilt in finale

The No. 23 Gators had Vanderbilt beat in the series finale on Sunday. They led 3-1, and reliever Tyler Nesbitt had two outs and two strikes on Spencer Jones in the bottom of the ninth.

Then Jones hit a groundball against the shift to the left side for a single.

Once again, Nesbitt got the Commodores down to their final strike by jumping ahead of Jack Bulger 0-2. He left a changeup a little bit up, and Bulger crushed it over the 35-foot wall in left for a game-tying homer that sent the game into extra innings.
