WATCH: Florida pitcher Clete Hartzog has NSFW reaction after striking out Miami batter
Things were getting heated in Gainesville, Florida in the Saturday college baseball contest between the Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes. In the top of the 8th inning, Florida pitcher Clete Hartzog struck out one of the best power hitters in all of college baseball, Miami’s Yohandy Morales. Once he did, the cameras caught Hartzog mouthing a NSFW reaction.
Check out his reaction below as he strikes out Morales.
The Gators were only trailing Miami 7-6 at that point, but the Hurricanes would take a 14-6 advantage in the top of the ninth inning, after Blake Cyr belted a three-run home blast to create even more breathing room for the ‘Canes. Miami went on to win the game on Saturday, 14-6, tying the series between the two teams.
The start time for Saturday’s game was pushed back due to weather.
The game was originally slated to start at 4:15 PM EST in Gainesville, Florida, but after warming up again, the game was in a delay as of 4:35 PM EST. According to the Florida Gators Twitter page, first pitch was moved back to 4:51 PM EST.
