Issues have been a little bit tense Sunday night time for Florida and their head coach Kevin O’Sullivan on the Males’s School World Sequence.
Within the backside of the eighth inning, with the Gators holding a 5-3 lead, Oral Roberts managed to load the bases with two outs. O’Sullivan needed to talk along with his nearer, First-Workforce All-SEC choice and All-American Brandon Neely, who had come into the sport within the seventh.
There was only one downside.
As soon as O’Sullivan got here onto the sphere to speak with Neely, it was his sixth mound go to of the sport. Below the principles, he needed to pull his nearer. Off got here Neely, and onto the sphere got here freshman Cade Fisher.
Fisher escaped the eighth inning, getting Justin Quinn to line out to left, and the Gators survived to advance within the MCWS.
With Florida set to tackle TCU Wednesday, O’Sullivan confirmed as much as work with a customized T-shirt, poking enjoyable at his error:
O’Sullivan admitted on Sunday night time that the error was “completely” his personal, and that nobody felt extra horrible about it than him. “I informed the crew I apologize to them on the finish of the sport,” added O’Sullivan, earlier than praising Fisher’s response:
Errors occur, and it’s nice to see O’Sullivan having some enjoyable at his personal expense.
