Florida makes all the right moves to win first CWS title

"We played to win tonight, not to get to Game 3," said ace pitcher Alex Faedo, the most outstanding player in Omaha for his work in two victories last week over TCU. "Sully believed in us that we could get the job done."


The conservative play for O'Sullivan in the late innings Tuesday, up in the series after a 4-3 win Monday, would have been to stick with his bullpen regulars. If the Gators lost, they had sophomore star Jackson Kowar ready to start in a winner-take-all game for the title Wednesday.

Instead, O'Sullivan pushed all of his chips to the center of the table. He called for Kowar to relieve closer Michael Byrne with one out in the eighth inning as Florida clung to a 2-1 lead with LSU runners at first and third base.

The simple decision to send Kowar to the bullpen invigorated the dugout, Faedo said.

"We rolled the dice," O'Sullivan said. "If it doesn't work out, it's a dumb move. If it works, it looks like you made the right decision."

Guess how it looks?

It was a great two games. Glad we won. Umpiring was rough at times but we finally pulled through to win one!

It wasn't as exciting a game as the girl's loss for the Natty, but it was worth watching from 4 to 7 this morning!

You mean that one that called the run back? Yeah, it was so correct that I didn't think it controversial. The timing was unfortunate but the kid didn't even try to pull it off...just went right at the 2nd baseman. I bet he would've gotten away with it if just a slightly more disguised effort.

Yeah that is the one I was talking about. People thought it was and honestly I wasn't expecting it to be called, however it was the correct call...
