U. of Florida's Gators are now wearing their first baseball national championship hats. Tonight they defeated Louisiana State Tigers, taking 2 out of three after winning last night, 4-3. The game was close, 2-0, Florida in the 7th. Then LSU scored 1, making it 2-1, still no outs. Then, ground ball to 2nd, throw home= out. Bases still loaded. Ground ball to 2nd, double play ball: 4 to 5 to 3 double play. Runner to second makes an illegal slide. Runner from third -to-home is recalled, run taken away. Next batter makes an out. End of threat.
Next inning, Florida opens up a wide lead. Scoring in a variety of ways, the gators go up 6-1. With one of their aces on the mound, the game ends Florida 6, LSU 1. This is Florida's 1st national title in baseball after making it into the playoffs 11 times. It is the first championship for Coach Kevin O'Sullivan, now in his 6th season and holding a new contract. He said that he is proud of his team and happy for the title after all the hard work over the long season.
Perseverance, hard work, a little luck= success.
