The Gators are coming off a close 3-2 loss to the #3 Texas A&M Aggies. Florida almost overcame a 3-0 deficit by scoring two runs in the seventh inning. However, the team was unable to pull off the upset, placing them in the elimination bracket.

Liam Peterson was the starting pitcher for the Gators, and he conceded all three runs in less than three innings pitched. Most of the issues stemmed from his control, as he walked four batters in his short outing. Peterson also gave up four hits, which allowed the Aggies to take control of the game. Although Florida’s bullpen held the Aggies to zero runs and two hits, the team could not recover from their poor start.

NC State suffered a heartbreaking 5-4 loss in extra innings to the Kentucky Wildcats in their first College World Series matchup, as the Wolfpack squandered a one run lead in the ninth inning. This inability to hold a lead has forced NC State into a tough position at the tournament, but they are still a team that could easily string some wins together.

The Wolfpack had great offensive performances from Alec Makarewicz and Jacob Cozart, who combined for five hits and 3 RBI against Kentucky. The team will need these two players to continue their great hitting at the plate this afternoon because Florida is a team that can score a lot of runs.

Since both teams lost by one run to start the College World Series, this matchup should be exciting to watch.
