LOCKE OUT: The Gator baseball career of Tampa pitcher Stephen Locke has come to an abrupt end. Florida officials said Monday that Locke is no longer with the team after his arrest early Saturday on charges of DUI. Locke was released on his own recognizance and ordered not to drink or drive until at least his next, yet-to-be scheduled court date.
He had 12 starts for the Gators last season, second on the team. He was 5-2 with a 3.17 ERA in a career-high 21 appearances. He struck out 46 batters and allowed just 13 walks in 821/3 innings. He had the Gators' lowest ERA in SEC play (2.91).
