Top seeded Gators hosts Auburn in a best of 3 series with the winner advancing to Omaha. Auburn swept thru the NCST regional as the #2 seed while UF was pushed to the limit in its regional. These two teams met during the regular season in a weekend series at the MAC with the Gators taking 2 of 3. The Gators won Game 1, 3-1 as Singer bested Mize with the help of an Indy 2-run homer in the bottom of the 1st inning. It was a great game that last just over 2 hours. Auburn roughed Kowar in game 2 and the Gators took the series by winning game 3.
Mize and Singer will start Game 1 and I expect another quick Game. Mize was selected number 1 overall in this week's draft and Singer went #18. Headed into the season Singer was ranked as the top ranked college pitcher, so I hope he does not go out and try to prove the scouts wrong. A chip on the shoulder is fine, just do not need him thinking he has something else to prove. He had a great regular season and was a high pick. Just be yourself.
In Game 2 Kowar will face Tanner Burns. Kowar was also a 1st round pick selected at #33. Kowar however does need to step up from his past few appearances. He has not been good and is leaving way too many pitches up in the zone. Game 1 is very important, but with those 2 guys it is clearly a toss up. also Auburn defeated Kowar in the regular season.
Game 3/ If Necessary. Hope not necessary for the right reasons.
Game 1: Noon, Saturday
Game 2: Noon Sunday
Game 3;If Necessary, Monday 8:30pm
