Friday night’s game two between No. 10 Florida and Kentucky contained all of the ingredients of an instant classic: unlikely heroes, a stunning comeback, a controversial call by the home plate umpire, a rain delay, a heated confrontation between a coach and an umpire and a shouting match between the two sides after the game.
After all of that, the Gators prevailed to win an 8-5 thriller to even the series.
“We made a bunch of mistakes again, but, hopefully, we’re going to get through this, and, hopefully, a win like this can help us play a little bit better on the road and not put ourselves in these types of positions,” UF coach Kevin O’Sullivan said.
