| Vols Squeeze Out Win Over #4 Florida
Tennessee scored three runs on safety squeezes to take a 5-4 lead over No. 4 Florida through five innings and held on for the win, getting a game-ending 5-3 double play on a diving play by Zach Luther with the bases loaded in the ninth to even the weekend series against Gators on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

| Twice the Gators blew 2 leads, inability to defend vs the Bunt, Fritts produced on offense and defense a top 10 diving catch, the tables turned today it was the Gators that wasted opportunities stranding runners, Luther's last play was fantastic he stopped the ball tagged 3rd then threw to first.

| You can already see CDS' imprint on the team. It only gets better from here as this roster is developed and new recruits come in. Go Vol! |

| Left a lot of runners stranded yesterday; the squeeze plays took care of that.
Beautiful double play to end the game | |

Great game with big General Admission crowd. Long line at ticket booth is a great thing.
Thoughts...
(1) Florida is a tough matchup. Tons of left handed guys make it tough for our setup man (Steck) and closer (Blount). Florida got lots of guys on in 8th and 9th as Nick and Steck did well to close out threats with the eventual right hander.
(2) The season HR disparity between the 2 teams is insane. UF has 46 HRs as I think we have 13 or 14.
(3) Our pitchers are doing a much better job now than earlier keeping the ball down. We have a plan and everyone is getting the roles down. starter, reliever (Saberhagen), set up (Steckenrider) and closer (Blount) So far we are doing good in staying with the script with close games.
(4) The Vickash Ramjit guy from Florida is not a smart player. Yesterday he got caught on the "Sutcliffe move" (that move never worked for Rick Sutcliffe) and today he made the last out by simply lollygagging to 1st base on a ball he thought (incorrectly) was foul. Had he hustled the slightest bit, the game would have been tied with a go ahead runner at 2nd. O'Sullivan will have Ramjit on bench entire game tomorrow I bet.
(5) I can't believe we hit the ball so well today. 8 Hits!!! Wow!
(6) Davis Morgan had a bad day at 1B to say the least. One error leading to 2 unearned runs in 3rd. He also made a bad decision on a ball that needed to be allowed to roll foul. That should have been an error but was not.
(7) Why does every Florida fan under 30 look like a "Jersey Shore" reject?
(8) It's impossible for any woman over 45 to yell "GO GATORS!" without sounding like the Wicked Witch of the West.
(9) Ethan Bennett's hit was his biggest in weeks of course getting thrown out at home was not best baserunnning I ever saw.
(10) Florida has as many starters batting over .300 as we have starters below .300 | |
