O-town Gator
Gator Fan
"An unlikely bat rose to the occasion and hit the Gators into the next round of postseason play.
Sophomore Tyler Thompson, who has been stuck at the bottom of the order all year, leads the team with 49 strikeouts and has struggled to provide productive at-bats.
But on Sunday he showed why coach Kevin O’Sullivan has stuck with him through the tough times.
The left fielder became the first Gator in postseason history to drill three homers in a game. He racked up six RBIs along the way to power No. 4 Florida (45-15) past FAU 15-0 and into the NCAA Super Regional. UF outscored opponents 32-5 in the Gainesville Regional."
