Swings in the first one and that's going to go foul and as you look at the stance it's a Purple Haze out there now he will work down and when he does work down that's when his fastball is the best it's mid to Upper 90s Trey Morgan you highlight him because he is terrific against fastballs which he's likely to see a lot of great safely and all 68 games this season the 1-2 yes it did and he's gonna reach base again 73 straight games if you go back to last season Cruz not going to swing and it is into the mid that's a strikeout for Brandon Sprout Morgan likes to let you know whether the pitch is a ball or a strike he hits one with Cruz in motion he'll be safe at second spread ahead 1-2 to Dugas to come back and [Applause] then got a couple outs [Applause] granted Pat pitch count way up picks up a walk the way you want to start the game 2-0 into left field Dylan Cruz with his speed touches third shell nuts throw not in time one nothing Tigers beloso delivers the first run of the game they got Joe bear with a changeup it's a big number for Ty Floyd's 103 over the course of the Year elevated at 95 and he may show you a little bit more than that he's been kept in check yeah he's got a season-long homer and Ruby drought going right now and yet the Gators still find themselves undefeated here in Omaha and this ball is put up in the air and look at how deep this one is going all the way to the track and still going and we're at the wall get caught by Cruz 400 Floyd climbs the ladder there and after being down 3-0 comes back to punch out length that's where Floyd wants to live 1-0 taglione sends this one Sky High Thompson the shortstop behind the third baseman Whitey can't make the play the flag Leone wolf on second and a miscommunication and misplay Chase not but the elevator that Floyd's riding off Tommy White with maybe the second biggest home run in LSU history behind Warren Morris the stuff of Legends from Tommy tanks well filthy third strikeouts second in a row much piece of being an athlete just inside and now a 2-2 and this one is into right field that's going to get down a huge hit from the nine hole hitter milazzo and LSU who's got two men on one down and turning it over to the top now it gets interesting KP 3-2 and that one gets fine [Applause] halter it's just a line drive out one two chased it what a job stroke got the line shot from Tommy White and he punched out Morgan and then he can Elevate 96 third strike out of the game for Floyd he's got the good stuff tonight the key over the course of this game is she's going to see if Florida can lay off of of that one get the ball below your belt like that and he sends it right between first and second heyman's aboard his fifth hit in the World Series special kid man [Applause] they'll take the strike out that'll be number four staring at one right down the middle with that one KP just above the knees that's back to back pitches and flip it into home plate to change the tiger here that one gets by that's gonna move the runner there it is he looks good it has been an outstanding College World Series in 2023 highlighted by the players on the field RBI single smoke down the line in left and it is over the wall Gavin Dugas leads the yard and the Tigers now have a two-nothing lead on his 17th of the Year strike a pose young man the captain wears number eight for a reason that is a special special number in this program and he has got a flare Joe borrow the college football national champion in 19 decent pro career so far there's another rocket into right field it beloso hits it hard and he is aboard 2-2 to Joe bear got it Thompson finally from the from the bottom part just caught in between right now one and two that one gets away belosa will stay as well the Gators on a 2-2 Jam shot slow roller curling bare hands in and he blows it underneath his hand this is a fair ball caglione will pick it step on third wow change up got him it was wicked that strike got number six keeping their team scoreless for five innings there's a fastball strikeout oh boy that's off a 3-1 got one to hit sends this one to right center field Cruz is going back he's looking it drops in the gap Carlin's got to step on third he's gonna be held at third and wow that ball came in a hold at third base on a play from where we sat looked like he might have had a good chance to score and on top of one that's a flip to first they get paglione the Run comes in what a play by Floyd and Thompson at that point who has moved over to second base because that was a rocket and they kept that Play Alive to get caglione [Applause] closer than I think people will think with Crews getting so much attention well he plays for LSU he was famous coming into college CWS that's up the middle and that's going to put him on and off the end of the back to center field Langford coming late jump and he cannot get it that ball's still on the ground Roberts hold it Third Base so Morgan I should say held at third base and they're going to put peloso on one the one two good boy he has come up with this when he need great slider away he picks up strikeout number eight chase that one it's been the best pitch he's got nine strikeouts but it's led to nine strikeouts from Floyd [Applause] to walk yep freshman comes in at least this time he knew he was going in the ball game and he was ready goes back to that slider the game against righties or lefties that is his biggest swinging Miss pitch [Applause] got him and that's a line shot that one is down the line going over to cut it off is Pearson and Evans is hustling to Second and he Dives in with a double Ty Evans and the hitter and then Jay Johnson came out for a quick talk with the home plate umpire and white will have one play and here's Kurland to Middlefield yes they do and the O2 to curland [Applause] and he did slap to the second baseman he missed it Runner was impacted we are tied Gavin Dugas challenged him again to short Thompson kinda and that is roped into right that's going to get down Evans will pick it up [Applause] that one is caught by caglion fires to Second and they throw it back to Fisher who wasn't on the bag slow roller this is trouble bare-handed no safe at first is Dugas good effort by halter but it was so slowly hit what a slider oh and he got him it's only two beats just two big dogs he's having a little laugh at himself right there Jones rolls it over and that is the play you can take Jack caglione left-hander leads the country in home runs at 31 if we go to a game three we'll probably see him on the mound [Applause] tied him up I want to go to LSU that's my lifelong dream and he's living it right now 11 punch-outs two in the inning that ball is hammered to right field oral is right is out of here BT royapel and as he flies the fence the Gators jump into the lead 106.6 miles per hour off the bat and Florida now leads it 3-2 hmm BT ripel has six hits in the postseason boys five of them have been launched 13 Runners left on base right now is looming large there's that elevated pitch for a strikeout slider got him Fisher picks up another strikeout that's his fourth since coming on in relief inside they want it and he got another punch up that's five for Cade Fisher give us some emotion from Fisher and the first one two three inning yep she'll not just watch that go by that's another strikeout and the totals continue to climb Lord is getting out hitting this game 8-5 that's another one 14 strikeouts and you're starting to move into some historic territory here in Omaha in a College World Series game 15 strikeouts Ty Floyd Warren Morris is his best wishes in the championship series I love a walk-off home run Jay says the best text he's ever gotten go Tigers oh two Fisher to White that ball is drilled left field back and we are tied Tommy tanks does it again brand new bowl game for one of the best power hitters in college baseball 400 feet and 107 off the bat slider that just kind of hangs out and over the plate and Tommy tanks has made a career of not missing those pitches and the winner will be announced cagliona Florida schemes and Crews who's going to take home the USA baseball top honor [Music] sliced into the hole and by Rivera chase that one though and he got him as he looks for strikeouts 16. and he got it four in a row and what a performance Ty Floyd this is put yourself in Legend status for LSU tonight for Ty Floyd got him swinging 17 strikeouts matching the nine inning record here in Omaha in a finals ties the most that we've seen in any college baseball game this year Wyatt hutapoll did it for Charlotte [Applause] playing chases and he's gone second strikeout for Neely came back from 2-0 yes sir 97 at the letters here's Pearson and he rolls it right back to him and that will send the Gators oh that's Ball Four that ball gets away and there goes your Runner into scoring position this one's more shallow 2-2 got him Riley Cooper does the job got into Chase he's gone that's strikeout number 33 overall 34 so we've set a new record six fast balls in their bat Robertson Center Langford and left and he will not offer that here comes the first one to White look out right above his head and that sends Crews down to second base who was that close sometimes a wild pitch makes your decision making a little easier it does and they do call the infield fly rule Robertson is there top of the order and curling he's just struggled so much of that get him ready to get the bat he says it got him the ruling on the field if hit by pitches confirmed right back at you off the glove and now you may have an issue Cooper gets it dryers not in time and that ball is ripped to left field it is caught out there in left field by Pearson they throw back what a play by Pearson they don't get the double play off the bat it looked like it was over his head paglione Morgan has called off and Florida cannot bring the runner in that one was right in his wheelhouse and belloso Big Time home run to put the Tigers on top a belly bomb with a no doubter and the Tigers lead it 4-3 Berkey that ball was on a t just enjoyed a moment cable below so baseball for the Tigers Slugger and he went into his slow stroll right about there here's the 3-2 and that's inside that's small 3-1 pitch travinsky looks like the park will hold it the right fielder back but short of a track run out away strike three that's it the Tigers will win game one behind Floyd Cooper and a below so blast 4-3 is the final foreign

only in the third Matt kind to apply a tourniquet to what has been a damaging any home run in this game [Applause] two balls and no strikes dude that's not bad that's depth in the lineup we thought it felt different on paper right it just felt say this out loud it's seven nothing gonna strike swing get his hands through the baseball that foot down teams weren't even here yet and trout was to the evidence on that swing by the way if Marcus Tim's is in two strikes he is he just straight boxed that off machines I think he wants to see that baseball and here's Drury Ward scores keep adding on

the Third the tough Series against the Dodgers at home all together here in the night into right field trout scores easily here's his being waved around he'll score and run inning for the Angels and that's got to make Hunter Renfrow feel real good except it's a great swing going the other way on that one they had an 11 run inning earlier this season in Oakland [Applause] a single in two with back to back to back home runs all three pitches too since that point you had some walks in there so you are gonna wave Renfrow around gabar's great Angel goes [Applause] Nick will have his second at-bat

USA vs Jamaica. Content Warning.
foreign Morris miles Robinson and Brandon Vasquez shared the 2015 final or semi I should say that was won by the reggae looking for and even though they're not starting they will play a role going forward and whether it's in that they expect themselves to consistently win Soldier Field is getting set for The Opening match of this the 17th edition of the concacaf it's been a rough run as of late for Jamaica struggles off the field new head coach man who did some wonders with Iceland now [Music] the start of another goal one you're going to see some flexibility within that formation in the way in which they hit five goals for West Ham they are absolutely loaded and attack one of the most talented is on your way United States debuting these new blues for Eminence and fun city or any four to the first save of the game out of Andre Blake a lot happening in this sequence at first the attack from Jamaican trying to get the ball initially the ball is cleared and then on the follow through hika's coach he took the job in September the first game was against Lionel Messi and yora Damian Lowe on a yellow car gets a tackle exactly right and pulled him back Midlands crossed deep to the back post too far just to try to perform and that's where you see guys start to rise to the top it takes individual moments of Brilliance gray and that was blocked by Ada Moore Damian Lowe is there does it have enough momentum behind it to get older trying to get that across and it was Tolkien there to clear in front of De Court over Reed remember the last goal cup that the U.S won it was a one-nil win over Hayden took in a game and a half Brett's past it gray drives that one in a free enters [Applause] well point of emphasis and we talked to Greg berhalter before this game one of the things he said this team needs to get better on in this next cycle set pieces now I think that two and a half years took this Jamaica job he said he's under a lot of pressure from the Jamaican media the players despite that pressure publicly supportive of what Holger Morris deflected cross Blake trying to prevent the corner has not done so it's out for a U.S Corner ball only as far as Tolkien couldn't get that thing down yeah just never settled for it will slide across and sort of bundle that thing all the way through that is down hope header comes sideways man down and a penalty for Jamaica chaos off the long throw [Applause] on his wide he missed it foreign ER here he reads it all the way he already sees the body language of Leon Bailey he anticipates early tolkien's cross flipped across and it bounced off yenlin didn't look like he was expecting that as it skipped off lows heading out for a goal kick the way he's no one there in a yellow shirt Boris awkwardly pull it down that's not a foul Morris is down gets clipped back in the Box Turner's gonna go up and get it Morris down the line low on a yellow car big collision and low in swinger this time and that was long rising up and it ends about and over I had a good look here Aaron long nice ball in comes there with him [Applause] and Sonora just bundles over the back of him [Applause] you're under pressure that is going to be a foul on Lambert quite tonight active all over the place that's a really tough challenge he sticks into the leg of Aiden Morris and he's Molly and for Antonio awkward there for meowska able to do enough he's getting a foul he was fouled in that process up to the U.S that cross Ferrara was in the areas popped in the air trying to prevent the corner does it the ball slows up decode over Reed yedling last man back is that going to be a foul yes it is and is it going to be more punishment coming Jamaicans are arguing and for Ferreira Jordan there from Andre Blake to deflect it wide oh 45 minutes down 45 to go here in Chicago in the open are the concacaf gold [Music] multiple players including their backup goalkeeper getting loose we saw Andre Blake sort of feeling at that right shoulder after the late save qualifying game in Columbus against Costa Rica they trailed to the first minute of that Andre yandlin getting the cross and it's gonna find Senora full swing and a miss well that was the best move in the match from the United States there for DeAndre edlin numbers flooding in that cross takes a deflection first half or even start to the second half here for Zendejas as the ball almost turned over again Antonio wonderful work decorative Marine Sands gets there in time got to get back to it poked Away by Neil tolki's clearance bounds is off Antonio out for a pass we'll drive it in and for Ferrara can he count it away the return to dance was cut off there I have covers the ball really bubble up a lot right now on this other Antonio now with sands on his back Tolkien steps in Neal does enough they're shouting for a handball [Applause] slices it backwards Neil is out Duel By Antonio his cross is all the way through wow I'm surprised Antonio decided to pass that move to Group B Haiti against Qatar they're back as an invited team at this Gold Cup and then from Houston Texas [Applause] himself and curls it over the bar you're starting to see now the impact of the two subs [Applause] and Sands has bundled over from behind and James Sands is down in pain U.S one remaining available substitute the rebound is blocked oh my gosh [Applause] Andre Blake are you kidding me and then just kind of miscontrolled that as he was surveying his options try to turn the floor there did he slip or was he tripped it's a freak Ferreira side steps clipping it in bounces down is ties the game indeed and concept of dress Newton's first episode
