How It Happened: Florida Gators walk off with win over Georgia Bulldogs

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Georgia Bulldogs shocked the Florida Gators with a seven-run ninth inning to take the series opener against the Gators.

Everybody is disappointed. This is not the time to keep them in the dugout for fifteen minutes. You could see it in their faces, they’re disappointed. Brandon [Neely] has been so good for us the entire year. That’s part of being a closer. You’re going to have nights where you’re not going to do as well as you want, but most of the time he’s done everything we’ve asked him to do.”

O’Sullivan will send Hustron Waldrep to the mound on Saturday night.

The Gators are 28-17 against the Bulldogs under Head Coach Kevin O’Sullivan including 16-6 at home. Florida has a commanding 191-115-2 lead in the all-time series, featuring a 99-44-1 mark in Gainesville.
