The 2011 College World Series game between the Florida Gators and Vanderbilt Commodore's seemed like it was destined to never end. The game that began Monday afternoon finally ended just minutes ago as the Gators pulled off the 3-1 win.
The hero for this game has to be Florida's Steven Rodriguez.
Rodriguez pitched 4 1/3 innings of relief over two days without giving up a hit! The Gators sophomore lefty retired three batters Monday night before storms came rolling into Omaha and delayed the game until today. Rodriguez was summoned back into today's game and did even better! He pitches 3 1/3 innings without giving up a hit, striking out 6 of the 11 batters he faced today! What a great performance.
The only scoring in the game for the Florida Gators came with one swing of the bat, when Preston Tucker homered to right in the 4th inning scoring Fontana and Zunino ahead of him. One thing to remember about the 2011 College World Series is that if you are working or can't get out to see the action, you can catch it online on ESPN3. Odds makers have Virginia as the favorite to win this years CWS, but these Gators may be a good play at 4/1.
