The Florida Gators continued to hold a narrow 1-0 lead after five innings in their matchup against the South Carolina Gamecocks Monday night.
College World Series Score, Florida Vs. South Carolina: Hudson Randall Winning Pitchers Duel
Florida’s Hudson Randall struck out Gamecocks shortstop Peter Mooney to kick off the fifth inning, then got catcher Robert Beary on a weak popup to first base. Randall then got outfielder Evan Marzilli with a high fastball for his fifth strikeout.
Leading off the bottom of the fifth, Florida designated hitter Brian Johnson worked a favorable 2-0 count against South Carolina starter Forrest Koumas, then grounded a single up the middle. Josh Adams then sacrificed Johnson to second.
In an incongruous moment, former Major League pitcher Shawn Estes caught a foul ball while sitting in the stands in the middle of the next at-bat by Tyler Thompson, who ended up flying out. Daniel Pigott flew out to end the inning.
