A 3 p.m. start to Super Regionals between the Florida Gators (46-17) and Wake Forest Demon Deacons (42-19) turned into a late night in Gainesville on Saturday. The Gators and Deacons were set to play in what was expected to become and instant classic matchup, and Saturday’s game delivered.
Junior pitcher Alex Faedo took the mound for Florida as scheduled, but what had the potential to be one of his best outings of the year was cut short by the inevitable post-season weather delay.
Faedo pitched four scoreless innings, fanning nine Wake Forest batters and only giving up four hits and one walk to one of the strongest offenses in the country.
