The South Carolina Gamecocks finally got to Hudson Randall in the eighth, tying their College World Series game against the Florida Gators at a score of 1-1.
Florida Vs. South Carolina, CWS Score: Gamecocks Tie Game In Eighth
Randall, who had been brilliant through seven, finally labored a bit in the eighth, walking leadoff batter Peter Mooney. Robert Beary moved Mooney to second with a bunt. Evan Marzilli then flew out to right-center, sending Mooney to third with two outs. Randall threw one too many offspeed pitches to second baseman to Scott Wingo, who grounded a ball up the middle to tie the game at one.
Florida then removed Randall from the game after 84 pitches. He struck out six and walked one in 7.2 innings, with his only walk proving to be a costly one. Steven Rodriguez came in to replace him and whiffed Jackie Bradley to end the inning.
South Carolina’s Cody Dent flied out to lead off the bottom of the inning. Outfielder Jake Williams then made a tough running catch in foul territory to retire Nolan Fontana. Tyler Webb then issued a two-out walk to Bryson Smith, but Preston Tucker grounded out to second.
