Gainesville Regional : Florida 5, Miami 4

2-0 fourth inning lead squandered.

4-2 deficit turned into 4-4 tie entering bottom of the seventh.

Ten Miami hits to Florida’s eleven. Four Hurricane errors to zero by the Gators. Ten left on base by UM.

Seven straight losses to the Gators and Miami has now dropped ten of eleven to Florida.

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Relegated to the loser’s bracket.

12pm ET showdown with Jacksonville.

Three win needed to reach the Super Regional.

Back-to-back wins over number two Florida needed to advance, if Miami gets past Jacksonville.

39 straight post-season appearances feels hollow at 37-22 and one game from elimination. Even worse, the premise of a third straight season ending at the hands of Florida, on their turf.

In need of a miracle.

Expecting nothing of the sort.

Hoping to be proven wrong.
