A walk-off home by Langworthy in the 11th inning delivered the Florida Gators a 3-2 win against Auburn and returned them to the College World Series.
After two diving catches by the Tigers squashed scoring opportunities, Langworthy ripped a 1-2 pitch by freshman All-American closer Cody Greenhill deep into right field. Langworthy’s line drive caromed off the glove of Auburn freshman right fielder Steven Williams and over the fence.
