I thought our momentum from the other nights heroics might carry into this game
Nope

It's early. UF has spit up some big leads this season. Just heard the announcer say that UGA and UF hit 15 home runs in the 3 game series early in the year.

We have a pitchers duel.
Georgia 0 Florida 2 T4
Now watch the hitters take over.

UF has had at least two innings now where they put a runner on 2nd with 0 or 1 outs, and couldn't score - and now UGA hits a bomb to tie the game. Falby is really fast, and she got a leadoff double and UF could not get her home. Even a kicked ball in the infield can get her home with that sort of speed and short bases. This lack of clutch offense has hurt UF for years now. Program hasn't been the same since the 2017 series against OU and then when the pitching coach left and took the same job at OU.

This is everything. Rocha is the best pitching coach in the country and it's not close.

This is a bit much. Let's just enjoy two really good rivals going at it maybe?

Rocha is great but Tennessee has better pitching this year than Oklahoma.

Did Peter Burns just say "just hanging out with a couple of lesbians" on the broadcast?

Who is the Georgia hottie putting the dumb arse chain on the players after the homers? 
Sorry, I meant the really cool chain thing they do.

Welp we have a nice lead, but Georgia has bases loaded no outs.

It's not a bit much - it's the truth. Did you watch that 2017 series against OU where the first game went 17 innings? That team was devastated by that loss. It was tough to watch and as that game went on, you knew the loser was going to be crushed. Unfortunately it was UF. The program has never recovered. Elite pitching has not come back. Clutch hitting has gone. I'm not talking about when they play #18 or something. I'm talking about when they're playing the Top 10.
And Jenn Rocha is the best in the nation. Losing her was devastating. UF was stacking elite pitching when she was there and won back to back titles. UF has been good, but not a threat to win a title. Since the 2018 season, when UF has been stacked up against the nation's elite, they have not been on the same level. Good enough to get to the WCWS, but a notch below the teams that can actually contend. For about 9 years, on any given day UF would be able to beat anyone. It's just not the same program now. That's the truth. I'm hoping that changes, but the truth is the truth. For about 7 years now I've watched them lose a lot of games simply because they couldn't get a runner home in scoring position, when playing top competition. It's a clear trend if you watch the games. I think the coach is trying to fix that, but they are not at the same level where they were before.
I think they are 17-8 against ranked teams this year. Compare that to Texas, and I think they have 4 losses to ranked teams, but they've played about 8 games or so against teams that are in the Top 5. UF isn't doing that any more, like they used to. This is just how the program is. They are probably going to beat UGA, but UGA is about #15 right now. This is not the barometer for being ready for a title.
Ironically, they got a transfer from OU and another transfer, can't remember where she's from, and those are the clutch hitters for them now, with the OU transfer putting them back in the lead.

I still can't believe we pitched to Mosley with the bases loaded. 
It worked out somehow.
Good game Georgia, good luck in the big tourney.

OU had a top pitcher transfer. Can't remember her name, but that was a big loss for them. She was pretty much nails when she was out there.

Listen, I am trying to enjoy some SEC sports today, so I don't know why you are thinking now is a good time to bleed out all over the board. Rocha is an OU grad, so what in the frick do you want me to tell you? She went back to her alma mater. Get over it.
UF is doing pretty good this season so I am trying to enjoy a big win over our arch rival. Please join me in celebrating the Gators victory or frick the frick off, take you pick.
