“Aggies Dominate, Shut Out Gators in Semis; Secure College World Series Finals!”

With a 15-run explosion on Wednesday, Florida eliminated Kentucky from the College World Series, but as the day in Omaha gave way to night, the Gators’ offense was nowhere to be seen.

Before facing Florida in the finals, Texas A&M’s pitching was outstanding, setting them up for victory, and on Wednesday night, their pitching once again carried the day as they won 5-0.

For the Aggies, Justin Lamkin wasn’t supposed to play very long, but over the course of five scoreless innings, he basically took the choice out of Jim Schlossnagle’s hands. Lamkin gave up just three hits while striking out nine.

The Gators’ boom-or-bust offensive strategy failed when they did get opportunities. Three different innings saw Florida with two runners on base with no outs, but each time it came up empty-handed. Taking advantage of Gators starter Liam Peterson’s control problems, the Aggies were able to score two runs before generating a hit.

After Fisher Jameson took Peterson’s spot, Florida’s pitching staff found their groove, but Texas A&M delivered two huge hits to seize complete control of the contest. In the fifth inning, Gavin Grahovac doubled to make it 3-0, then in the sixth, rookie Caden Sorrell opened the score with a two-run home run.

After making it to the College World Series finals for the first time in program history and securing a match with SEC foe Tennessee, Texas A&M is going somewhere it has never been before. This weekend in Omaha, a new champion will be crowned, and in Saturday’s first game, one team will make a significant advancement toward the championship.
