The Florida Gators beat Oklahoma State twice in a row and will now play the Clemson Tigers Clemson Super Regional
for head coach Kevin O’Sullivan Sunday, pitching the final 5 ⅔ innings to set up a win-or-go-home matchup with Oklahoma State in the Stillwater Regional Final on Monday.
But against Oklahoma State, in a must-win game for both teams Florida’s bullpen was outstanding. Behind Jake Clemente, Frank Menendez and Fisher Jameson, the trio only gave up two runs en route to awin over the Cowboys. The Gators move on to the Super Regional for the second straight year and they’ll travel to Clemson, South Carolina, to face the Clemson Tigers in the supers.Ashton Wilson continued his strong Stillwater Regional performance early.
Then in the bottom of the sixth, Tyler Shelnut led off the inning by demolishing a home run to left field. It padded Florida’s lead to 4-2, but all year a two-run lead was never comfortable with the way Florida’s bullpen oftentimes collapsed.But there was no collapse Monday. Jameson pitched the final 3 ⅓ innings to eliminate and upset Oklahoma State, sending UF to its second-straight super regional.
And it seems Florida’s strength of schedule is helping them with its confidence. Shelnut said coming into the tournament the Gators felt they could beat anybody. They have.
