OMAHA, Neb. — Jac Caglianone scored the winning run on Luke Heyman’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth and Florida rallied to beat Virginia 6-5 in the College World Series.
The Gators tied it on homers by Ty Evans and Wyatt Langford. That set the stage for the Gators' 21st come-from-behind win of the season and fourth walk-off.
They will play Oral Roberts on Sunday night for control of their bracket. Virginia plays TCU in an elimination game in the afternoon.
In the second game of the day, Blaze Brothers hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth inning after an Oral Roberts pitching meltdown in the eighth and the Golden Eagles opened the College World Series with a 6-5 win over TCU.
The Eagles are the lowest seed to make it to Omaha since 2012. Drew Stahl’s RBI single pulled ORU within 5-3 and then Brothers drove an 0-1 pitch to left for his first homer since May 24. Oral Roberts is in the CWS for the first time in 45 years.
The Eagles won for the 24th time in 25 games.
