 How It Happened
 


The Broncos opened up the game with a pair of hits in the first leading to a run off an RBI single. They extended the lead to 2-0 in the second off a sac fly. Cunningham cut the deficit in half with a solo homer over the left field fence in the bottom of the second. The Broncos responded with a solo shot of their own in the top of the third. The Gators looked for a clean inning in the fourth with two outs and a pair of runners on, but a homer from Trent MacKinney ended that plan and the Broncos took a 6-1 lead in the fourth.

Cunningham hit a ground rule double to center and advanced to third off a balk in the bottom of the sixth. He advanced home on the next at bat thanks to an error by the second basemen. The Gators put their rally caps on in the seventh and plated three runs at home. Matt Sugden hit an RBI single in shallow infield to allow Upstill to score and Justin Clark to advance to second. Back-to-back hit by pitches allowed a second run to score. Sammy Gonzales hit a two-out single up the middle to plate the Gators third run and make it a one-run game.

Down 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth, Cunningham was pegged by a pitch for the second time that day and took his free base. Cole Thompson came in to pinch run but was picked off for the final out.

 On the Mound


 

  • Jordyn Eglite (2-3) made his return to the mound for the first time since April 2. He gave up six hits, five earned runs and tossed two strikeouts, putting him seven away from tying the all-time program record. Eglite's day was done after inducing a fly ball for the first out in the top of the fifth, drawing a round of applause from the crowd.
  • Tyler Franks continued his strong second-half of the season, going 3.2 scoreless innings and matching his season high of six strikeouts while only giving up three hits.
  • Mario Vargas pitched the final inning, tossing a strikeout out and giving up a hit.
  • Matt Orozco picked up the win in relief while Eric Romo earned his fourth save of the season.
