Good morning, BBN!
After the Cats were rained out last night at Omaha, their elimination game was moved to this morning at 11 am ET on ESPN.
It was a tough loss to Texas A&M Monday night as UK couldn’t muster a single run until the bottom of the ninth, losing 5-0.
In order for them to stay alive today, they have to stick with what’s gotten them here; pitching and speed.
Florida had a bit of an up-and-down year so far but managed to shine in their regional and then super-regional against Clemson to make it to the CWS. The Gators also lost to the Aggies to start off the College World Series.
If the Cats do beat the Gators, then they’ll have to play again later today against Texas A&M at 7 PM ET. If they win again tonight, then they play the Aggies again tomorrow with the time to be determined later.
Tough road, but it starts with the game this morning. Go Cats!
