The Florida Gators took a 1-0 lead after three innings of their game against the South Carolina Gamecocks Monday after a costly walk and wild pitch by South Carolina starter Forrest Koumas.
College World Series Score, Florida Vs. South Carolina: Gators Take 1-0 Lead After Three Innings
Florida pitcher Hudson Randall kicked off the third inning with one out each through the air and on the ground, then barely threw out the speedy Jackie Bradley Jr. on a weakly-hit ball toward third base. Randall has so far done a nice job against Gamecocks hitters, throwing strikes, changing speeds and demonstrating solid command of a couple of different breaking balls.
South Carolina’s Forrest Koumas walked Tyler Thompson to start the third, and Thompson headed to second when the next batter grounded out. Thompson went to third on a wild pitch (that easily could have been called a passed ball – it hit catcher Robert Beary in the glove), then scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Cody Dent. Nolan Fontana then lined out to right, ending the inning with a 1-0 Gators lead.
