Alligator Alley

Peter Verdin punched a single to right on the eighth pitch. Randall so far looks okay, just not his normal self.

Welton fly ball to the warning track in left. One away.

Verdin steals second... great throw by Zunino, just that Verdin got too good a jump.

Fontana hit the ball hard but right at the pitcher for the first out. Justin Shafer hitting second now. Freshman who's hit lower in the order all year.

Fly ball to center. Two down.

First out grounder for Georgia ... Randall walks Ruiz, first walk issued by UF pitching in the 26-1/3 innings of this series.

Another stolen base. They're getting great jumps on Randall.

Randall gets the strikeout to end the inning ... 29 pitches in two innings for him. That's pretty high. I would imagine he's on a pitch count of about 80 today. Whitson will come in behind him.

Johnson hit the ball hard to first but it's out 1. Pigott to the plate.

Pigott was running so the DP was avoided, but Turgeon is thrown out at first. Two down for Taylor Gushue, who has slumped after such a hot start.

Ground ball to second for out one for Georgia in the third ... Randall hits Verdin. I think he runs here.

Stinkin up the place again I see.

The two anchors of our staff, Randall and Whitson, are surrounded with questions and BJ just hasn't been what we'd hoped. If these three aren't firing on all cylinders come tournament time, we're not going anywhere. The team doesn't hit enough and the defense, overall, is nothing more than average. If we hope to win hardware, it's going to have to come from starting & relief pitching, an offense that can score enough and a defense that doesn't give the opposition too many extra outs. I just don't know if there's enough time left to fix our Big 3.

Dent grounded to second and Fontana walked. One on for Justin Shafer in the Florida half of the third.

Leadoff double for Brett Deloach and that brings O'Sullivan out of the dugout. That's it for Randall ... coming in Daniel Gibson.
