Descrição
The home run derby that engulfed Condron Ballpark early Sunday morning and sent Florida fans home happy took a turn on Sunday night.
Homers continued to fly out of the ballpark, but less than 24 hours after Florida swatted seven against Miami, Troy battered Florida starter Liam Peterson for four home runs en route to a 16-11 victory in the Gainesville Regional. The Trojans kept their season alive to earn a rematch against the Gators on Monday night at 6 with a Super Regional berth on the line.
Florida (41-20) had an opportunity to sweep a regional for the first time since 2016, but the Trojans (35-30) showed they can play long ball, too, as Jimmy Janicki (two), Houston Markham and Blake Cavill went deep against Peterson, and Jabe Boroff capped Troy's outburst with a grand slam off reliever Billy Barlow in Troy's nine-run sixth inning to blow the game open. The Trojans stayed alive in the first game Sunday by beating Miami in an elimination game.
