00:03:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03:46 --people here this weekend, as any time
00:03:49 when I'm at a softball field, whether it be down here
00:03:52 in Vieira, maybe in Connecticut at the Sportsplex
00:03:56 in North Brantford or back home in New Hampshire.
00:03:59 Anytime, I'm anywhere.
00:04:00 I love meeting everybody.
00:04:01 [CHATTER]
00:04:04 Here we are.
00:04:05 We got Jonesy on the mound here, just like we did last game.
00:04:07 Sean Jones.
00:04:08 [CHATTER]
00:04:11 I think the only thing that really-- there's
00:04:17 been a couple of--
00:04:18 Florida's been changing positions on me
00:04:20 pretty consistently.
00:04:20 But Orlando is short.
00:04:23 Kyle Pearson at third.
00:04:25 That stayed pretty consistent.
00:04:27 [CHATTER]
00:04:30 Florida is going to hit 11.
00:04:31 This game is so is North Carolina.
00:04:33 [CHATTER]
00:04:36 Love that.
00:04:40 I love that leg kick by Blackburn.
00:04:42 [CHATTER]
00:04:45 Here we go.
00:04:46 This is an 8 o'clock game, so 8-17.
00:04:47 Not a bad time here.
00:04:49 We're moving OK.
00:04:51 Here comes Robert Blackburn.
00:04:54 Gave the lean.
00:04:56 He's ready to go.
00:04:58 Jones is ready to go.
00:04:59 And we've got to play ball.
00:05:01 Robert Blackburn, first pitch swinging.
00:05:03 Nice pick by Bubba Mack.
00:05:05 Jonesy guts on over there.
00:05:08 First out.
00:05:08 [CHATTER]
00:05:12 Just seeing some of the Canadian boys head on out of here.
00:05:20 Zach Rant giving a quick shout out.
00:05:23 Looking forward to seeing him play this year.
00:05:26 Out of on-- he plays down here.
00:05:28 He's playing Conference B. Lives up in Hamilton, Ontario.
00:05:33 I got to tell you what, Zach Rant has shorts a beautiful thing.
00:05:37 Here we are.
00:05:38 We got Zach Watts stepping in.
00:05:40 Second batter here for Carolina.
00:05:44 Waddy elevates that out into right for the second out.
00:05:54 Two quick outs here for Carolina as Jason Martel
00:06:01 steps in for Carolina.
00:06:03 Two up, two down for Carolina.
00:06:09 Not how you want to start against this Florida team
00:06:11 that's been putting up offense throughout this entire
00:06:15 tournament.
00:06:17 Shocking if you look at the roster, I know.
00:06:19 Oh, Jason Martel hits that ball deep out into left.
00:06:23 Dave and Farron through the slot for a solo shot.
00:06:26 Jason Martel says, we're going to change this number here
00:06:31 in the top of the first inning.
00:06:34 That nice solo shot.
00:06:38 Here comes Rich Roccobaldo.
00:06:39 Roccobaldo ready to go.
00:06:44 Jones on the first base side of the rubber.
00:06:47 Roccobaldo misses that one.
00:06:49 Kyle Pearson, Andrew Collins, everybody coming in.
00:06:52 And look at Sean Jones.
00:06:54 He says, half pitchers are athletes too.
00:06:57 Watch this.
00:06:59 Nice job by Jonesy coming off.
00:07:00 He wanted to take care of it himself.
00:07:03 So North Carolina only scores one
00:07:05 on the back of that Jason Martel home run.
00:07:08 We'll be back with the bottom of the first
00:07:10 and Florida coming up.
00:07:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:07:15 [INAUDIBLE]
00:07:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:07:22,
00:07:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:07:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:07:45 Welcome back here to Space Coast Stadium.
00:07:54 1-0, North Carolina scores one on the back of a solo shot
00:07:57 by Jason Martel.
00:07:58 I tell you, North Carolina--
00:08:04 North Carolina with great unis again.
00:08:06 Like, Texas has had some good ones.
00:08:08 North Carolina changed from the Tar Heel Blue Top
00:08:11 and the Black Pants.
00:08:12 Now they're going with the Tar Heel Blue Pants
00:08:14 and the Cream Top.
00:08:15 I got nothing else to say on that one.
00:08:20 It's just pretty looking.
00:08:21 It's damn good.
00:08:22 Here we go.
00:08:29 We got-- we're getting ready to get her going.
00:08:31 Florida's lineup, fairly similar to last game we saw them play,
00:08:35 but a couple changes.
00:08:36 [INAUDIBLE]
00:08:41 Andrew Collins going to lead the way here for Florida
00:08:43 in the bottom half of the first inning, chasing one.
00:08:45 Jonas is still on the mound.
00:08:50 Brandon Jonas is going to be pitching here
00:08:52 for North Carolina.
00:08:53 It's getting bad.
00:08:57 I'm forgetting who Carolina just played.
00:08:59 They just played a little bit ago.
00:09:02 Florida beat Georgia to get here.
00:09:04 Jonas, ball inside, 1 and 0.
00:09:07 Andrew Collins looking backside, 3-4.
00:09:14 Nice grab there by Travis Tucker.
00:09:20 Zach Watts had it, didn't have it,
00:09:24 uses the bare hand still on the bag to get the first out.
00:09:27 Nice job by Trapp.
00:09:28 Nice couple steps, quick dive.
00:09:33 Throws from his knees, and there's Watts.
00:09:35 Had it, pops out, grabs it with the bare hand.
00:09:40 North Carolina got here by beating Oklahoma 10-3.
00:09:43 Here comes Jeremy Yates, two hitter for Florida,
00:09:48 with one out, bottom one.
00:09:50 Jeremy Yates, air mill, and that ball out to Yates' yard house
00:09:55 in right field.
00:09:57 Nice swing there by Jeremy Yates, just yanking it
00:10:02 and having himself a way to start the game here
00:10:05 in the winner's bracket semifinals.
00:10:07 Nice swing.
00:10:11 God, I love a lefty swing.
00:10:18 Ryan Harvey following suit, and that one deep up
00:10:21 into the grassy knoll on the top of the hill out in left field.
00:10:29 Ryan Harvey, and they got a 2-1 lead on the back
00:10:33 to back solos.
00:10:35 Nice swing by Harvey.
00:10:37 Right onto the top of the hill and rolling down the back.
00:10:40 Thank God those guys aren't in that Dudley tent
00:10:42 from World Series.
00:10:42 They might have been getting pelted.
00:10:44 Bubba Mack, Bubba Mack on a line out to left.
00:10:48 Jackson May.
00:10:50 Is that Jackson May still out in left?
00:10:57 If that is, nice grab by him.
00:10:58 Here comes Jason Matusik.
00:11:04 Two down, 2-1, Florida leads on back to back solos
00:11:10 from Yates and Harvey.
00:11:13 Here comes Jason Matusik.
00:11:17 We got Jonas on the first base side of the rubber, delivers.
00:11:22 Nice first pitch strike from Jonas.
00:11:25 Drops that right in behind the dish.
00:11:28 0-1.
00:11:29 Comes over to the third base side.
00:11:38 Little juke.
00:11:39 Drops that one in front of the plate.
00:11:41 1-1.
00:11:41 1-1, 2 down, 2-1, Florida leads.
00:11:43 Matusik elevates that.
00:11:49 Nice pitch by Brandon Jonas to get the final out
00:11:52 of the inning here.
00:11:53 In a tight first inning, all the runs came off home runs.
00:11:58 2-1 after 1.
00:12:00 We'll be back with Carolina coming to the plate.
00:12:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:12:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:12:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:12:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:12:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:13:16 We're back here at Space Coast Stadium
00:13:19 as we head into the second inning.
00:13:21 Carolina coming up here, chasing one.
00:13:25 Florida hits back-to-back home runs from Yates and Harvey
00:13:28 to take the lead.
00:13:29 2-1.
00:13:31 Just look how clean those are.
00:13:34 Those are amazing.
00:13:37 Austin Mapes, the right fielder here for Carolina.
00:13:43 Mapes goes to the middle man for one down.
00:13:47 J-Rob makes the play in the middle, positioned perfectly
00:13:59 right where Mapes was going.
00:14:02 And here we go, looks at Ty Cobb stepping into the plate.
00:14:06 He's getting set.
00:14:06 He's ready to go.
00:14:08 Here comes Sean Jones, creeping back towards the mound.
00:14:11 Tows the rubber, delivers.
00:14:15 We're looking at a first pitch strike.
00:14:16 Nice pitch there by Jones on the outer half of the plate.
00:14:20 Comes in with something a little flatter, a little faster,
00:14:23 but modified as typically on Sunday afternoons.
00:14:26 Just a great mix, though, of height and speed
00:14:32 coming out of Jones.
00:14:35 Trying to get Ty Cobb a couple different looks here
00:14:37 in the CMAB.
00:14:38 Ty Cobb hits that ball down the right field line.
00:14:40 Now for a foul out, so that's two down.
00:14:43 Quick two outs here for North Carolina.
00:14:47 Nice job by Sean Jones there, working in,
00:14:50 getting a first pitch strike, having
00:14:52 some fun on different speeds and heights on the pitches,
00:14:56 and getting Ty Cobb to foul out for the second inning--
00:14:58 or excuse me, second out.
00:15:00 Here comes Travis Tucker.
00:15:03 Catches the plate for a ball one.
00:15:04 1-0.
00:15:07 Trap swing and the DiMarini red bat.
00:15:09 Nice piece by Tucker back through the middle.
00:15:17 Here comes Josh Fyfe, the shortstop.
00:15:36 Tucker gets on board here, gives Fyfe an opportunity.
00:15:43 Have a little fun here with two.
00:15:44 Jones on the first base side of the rubber.
00:15:47 Misses.
00:15:49 1-0.
00:15:49 Stand on that first base side.
00:15:54 Delivers.
00:15:54 Nice comeback pitch by Jonesy.
00:15:58 Tucker on first.
00:16:00 Fyfe at the plate.
00:16:01 Nice swing by Fyfe out into right field.
00:16:04 Tucker is going to drop anchor at two.
00:16:06 First and second with two down.
00:16:08 Nice job by Yates to get that in there quickly in right field.
00:16:11 Trap looked like he was taking a peek
00:16:16 and seeing if he could grab three, but thought better of it.
00:16:18 And here we go as we're looking at Jackson May.
00:16:31 Jackson May, swing and first pitch,
00:16:34 rolls over to Orlando Castillo.
00:16:35 That's going to be the final out of the inning.
00:16:37 That's the first out we've seen from Jackson May here today.
00:16:42 So they did press a little bit with two.
00:16:46 Sean Jones gets Jackson May to roll over
00:16:48 to short for the final out.
00:16:49 We're heading into the bottom half of the second inning
00:16:51 in a 2-1 ballgame.

00:17:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:18:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:18:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:18:07 Welcome back here to the stadium.
00:18:12 I tell you, it's just a different vibe
00:18:14 here at the stadium.
00:18:15 It's always nice later in the day
00:18:17 where you actually have half the stadium covered by shade.
00:18:20 Nighttime's beautiful here.
00:18:21 You can sit wherever the heck you want.
00:18:22 As we're taking a peek at Orlando Castillo
00:18:29 to lead off here in the bottom half of the second inning.
00:18:31 Jonas, first base side.
00:18:37 Nice piece by Castillo and Travis Tucker.
00:18:41 Getting some early action here in the first two innings.
00:18:44 Nice job by Trapp.
00:18:45 Gets that ball, heads it on over to Waddy for the first out.
00:18:51 And here comes Kyle Pearson.
00:18:54 Getting back up here with one down
00:18:55 in the bottom of the second inning.
00:18:57 They're playing a pool on the infield
00:19:05 and outfield's pretty straight away.
00:19:09 Center fielder shading a touch to the left.
00:19:11 Kyle Pearson gets into that one deep out in the left
00:19:15 and over top into the bottom of the hill.
00:19:18 Wanted to send that one back to the panhandle.
00:19:21 Nice swing there by Kyle Pearson with a solo shot.
00:19:29 That's all the offense we've seen here tonight's
00:19:31 been solo shots.
00:19:34 The OGKB having himself a nice little evening
00:19:37 here at the stadium.
00:19:38 Jonas delivers.
00:19:40 Nice weight on that one by Jordan Robinson
00:19:43 out into right field.
00:19:46 Inside pitch, kept his hands tight.
00:19:48 Pulled him through and sends that out to right for a single
00:19:52 to get it going here again after that solo shot by Kyle Pearson.
00:19:56 Here comes Matt Moselle.
00:20:05 Second baseman for Florida.
00:20:09 One out, runner on first, 3-1 Florida leads.
00:20:12 Bottom two.
00:20:14 Matt Moselle goes through the middle.
00:20:15 There's one.
00:20:16 He better hustle.
00:20:18 I think he beat it out.
00:20:19 He did beat it out.
00:20:23 Nice hustle by Matt Moselle.
00:20:25 Middleman there had a chance at it, but that was a tough--
00:20:31 Matt Moselle was hard out the box off of that swing
00:20:34 knowing he was going to have to beat out the double play.
00:20:37 So now we have Joey Kamfer digging in with two down,
00:20:45 runner on first.
00:20:46 In a 3-1 ballgame, the number gets
00:20:50 changed by Kyle Pearson's solo shot out on the left.
00:20:54 Jonas delivers.
00:20:56 Kamfer flares that out to right, coming in.
00:21:00 Oh, that ball's going all the way to three.
00:21:02 Oh, and that ball misses the third baseman, Rocco Baldo.
00:21:06 That's going back to two, and we're just
00:21:08 throwing it around now.
00:21:09 That was a unique, unfortunate-- a series
00:21:18 of unfortunate events.
00:21:19 Lemony Snickets would really be proud of that
00:21:23 if he was a Florida fan.
00:21:25 So the right fielder comes up firing into three.
00:21:31 It's sailing.
00:21:32 Rocco Baldo missed it, went for the quick tag, missed the ball,
00:21:35 came up, threw it to second when Kamfer was already
00:21:40 on his way to three.
00:21:42 And that ball went to Travis Tucker, playing behind second,
00:21:47 and he scored.
00:21:49 5-1, bottom two.
00:21:51 And the way Florida's been swinging today,
00:21:53 you don't need to give them extra outs.
00:21:55 They can score on their own.
00:21:58 We're at the 11-hitter here, Sean Jones, the pitcher.
00:22:01 Sean Jones pulls that ball foul out of play.
00:22:03 That was a weird, weird series you typically
00:22:11 won't see at this level much.
00:22:14 That's a ball way inside, going after that bat is Jonas.
00:22:17 I like that play.
00:22:17 Sean Jones flies that one out to left field.
00:22:26 Jackson Mayes underneath him.
00:22:27 Caught.
00:22:29 For the final out of the inning, but not
00:22:30 before a couple of earned runs come across
00:22:32 on the back of the Kyle Pearson solo, then
00:22:35 a little circus event.
00:22:37 5-1 ball game after two.
00:22:39 We'll be right back.

00:23:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:23:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:23:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:23:49 Look at that.
00:23:50 That looks like a Halloween moon right there.
00:23:55 I'll tell you, I love a good, scary movie.
00:23:58 I just don't feel like they get made as well anymore.
00:24:00 And I was one on the way down here last week
00:24:03 into the Challenge Cup.
00:24:04 I was a little disappointed in it.
00:24:06 It's almost like-- I think the same storyline
00:24:08 as High Tension, which is a great French film.
00:24:10 Anyway, we're not here to talk about horror movies
00:24:12 on USSSAlive.com.
00:24:15 We're here to watch Florida take on Carolina
00:24:18 as we're here in the top half of the third inning.
00:24:21 We're taking a look at Brandon Jonas stepping in.
00:24:26 Jones delivers.
00:24:28 Oh, just trying to flare that one.
00:24:29 Didn't get it enough.
00:24:31 And J-Rob right there.
00:24:34 One down.
00:24:35 Tried just kind of dinking it over the infield.
00:24:42 Didn't get it up enough.
00:24:44 Didn't make J-Rob move that much either.
00:24:46 Here comes the lefty, right fielder, Bradley Scott
00:24:53 for Carolina.
00:24:54 Jones delivers.
00:24:59 Looking at first pitch strike there.
00:25:01 Nice start by Sean Jones.
00:25:02 He's had some fun when he gets that first pitch strike
00:25:04 on you.
00:25:05 He's working from the middle of the rubber.
00:25:07 He's going higher.
00:25:08 And he gets Bradley Scott to elevate that out
00:25:11 and to right for two down.
00:25:14 Nice pitch there by Sean Jones.
00:25:19 He's really touching the ceiling of the height
00:25:21 there and gets Scott to fly out to right.
00:25:26 We're at the top of the order.
00:25:28 Remember that kick.
00:25:28 You know who this is.
00:25:29 It's Robert Blackburn.
00:25:33 The catcher for Carolina.
00:25:34 That's a better Carolina.
00:25:41 That's a debate I'd like to have.
00:25:44 Sean Jones with a nice pitch there.
00:25:49 Robert Blackburn pulls that one down into the left field
00:25:52 corner.
00:25:53 Foul.
00:25:54 Nice first pitch swinging.
00:26:01 I think city-wise, Charleston has North Carolina beat
00:26:03 with South Carolina.
00:26:04 But I think North Carolina has a little more all-around options.
00:26:07 Robert Blackburn waiting.
00:26:12 Jones delivers.
00:26:14 Robert Blackburn puts a swing into that one,
00:26:16 going back towards the left field wall, but not enough.
00:26:19 In front of the warning track is Jason Matusik, who's out left.
00:26:23 And that's three up, three down for Carolina.
00:26:27 Not ideal, as they've been quiet now in the second and third.
00:26:30 We'll be right back, heading into the bottom three.
00:26:32 Florida up 5-1.
00:26:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:26:37 [INAUDIBLE]

00:26:45 (dramatic music)
00:26:48 (dramatic music)
00:26:52 (dramatic music)
00:26:54 (upbeat music)
00:27:08 (upbeat music)
00:27:11 - We're back here at the stadium
00:27:37 watching Florida take on North Carolina,
00:27:39 heading into the bottom of the third.
00:27:41 Andrew Collins is gonna lead the way here for Florida.
00:27:44 And I like to say, before you get too hot and heavy
00:27:46 about the North Carolina versus South Carolina debate,
00:27:49 you got family, you got me.
00:27:51 You got family that lives in South Carolina, so we'll see.
00:27:55 I don't know, it's a good question.
00:27:56 It's almost like, you know,
00:27:58 it's a better Mid-Atlantic state, Maryland, Virginia.
00:28:02 I have bias towards Maryland, but that's just me.
00:28:04 Either which way we're here, 5-1 Florida.
00:28:08 - Andrew Collins.
00:28:09 Little heavy, 1-0.
00:28:12 Brandon Jonas delivers.
00:28:17 Andrew Collins gets into that one, out into left center.
00:28:21 Jackson Maye tracking it down in front of the warning track.
00:28:24 One down.
00:28:27 - This young kid, he's been playing well for Carolina.
00:28:33 Late pickup.
00:28:36 Fun to watch him play.
00:28:38 He'll be playing seaball this year.
00:28:42 - Here comes Jeremy Yates.
00:28:43 Last time up, hit a seed out to right.
00:28:46 Swinging a DeMarini.
00:28:49 - Jeremy Yates having some fun
00:28:54 with the umpire up there at the plate.
00:28:56 Jonas out on the third base side.
00:28:58 - Yates, nice piece by Yates in the 4-10 hole.
00:29:02 Yates hard out, takes a wide turn.
00:29:04 He's gonna hold into a single.
00:29:07 - Nice job by the center field to get that in quick.
00:29:09 - Ryan Harvey coming to play with Jeremy Yates on first.
00:29:20 Last time up, these two came,
00:29:21 they went back to back with home runs.
00:29:25 - Ryan Harvey absolutely hit a miss on him.
00:29:28 His was definitely further than Yates'.
00:29:30 Here comes Ryan Harvey.
00:29:32 He's in.
00:29:33 Brandon Jonas working from the first base side
00:29:35 of the rubber.
00:29:36 Delivers.
00:29:38 - Oh, and look at Ryan Harvey saying,
00:29:40 "Hey Yatesy, you didn't send it out to right,
00:29:42 "but I got you, buddy."
00:29:43 Two run shot by Ryan Harvey out to right field.
00:29:48 - Says, "I don't need a pull the ball."
00:29:55 Watch this.
00:29:56 Watch me take this swing out.
00:29:58 Between the palm trees and right.
00:30:00 Nice piece by Ryan Harvey.
00:30:02 Seven-one, bottom three.
00:30:04 Bubba Mack at the plate.
00:30:06 - Bubba Mack gets into one down the left field.
00:30:12 Jackson Bay looking over the fence for another home run.
00:30:15 Eight-one.
00:30:17 Nice seed line there by Bubba Mack.
00:30:20 - Going back to back.
00:30:22 That's three runs and two swings.
00:30:24 Bubba Mack, that was a line.
00:30:27 That was a great swing.
00:30:29 Kept it below the roof of the bleachers
00:30:31 here at the stadium.
00:30:32 Here comes Jason Matusik.
00:30:34 Matusik is ready.
00:30:39 Jonas is ready.
00:30:41 Here comes the pitch.
00:30:43 Jason Matusik hits that one high out in the left.
00:30:47 It's got the height.
00:30:48 Does it have the distance?
00:30:50 It does.
00:30:51 Jason Matusik with a great all-pro punting hang time
00:30:56 on that towering home run.
00:31:00 Back to back to back here for Florida,
00:31:03 and they are now leading nine to one
00:31:07 here in the bottom of the third.
00:31:09 Tell you what, after that swing,
00:31:12 you could have gone to the kitchen,
00:31:14 refilled your cup, and come back,
00:31:16 and the ball was still in the air.
00:31:18 Nine-one.
00:31:20 Orlando Castillo looks at a first pitch strike
00:31:23 from Brandon Jonas.
00:31:25 Jonas moves over, works on the third base side.
00:31:29 Ball's inside.
00:31:30 One and one to Orlando.
00:31:33 Jonas delivers.
00:31:38 Nice pitch by Jonas to get Castillo
00:31:40 to chase something on the other outside half of the plate.
00:31:43 Rolls that over to Travis Tucker at two for a two down.
00:31:47 Nice pitching sequence there from Jonas.
00:31:54 Went way inside on the second pitch, first ball,
00:31:58 and then came back out, went to the outer half.
00:32:00 I think that was actually a ball further outside, too.
00:32:03 They got him to chase it, and roll that over to Tucker.
00:32:06 Here comes Kyle Pearson, third baseman for Florida.
00:32:09 Little heavy there, a one-oh.
00:32:15 Good pop time from Blackburn.
00:32:18 Nice comeback pitch by Jonas.
00:32:23 One-one.
00:32:28 Too much.
00:32:28 Full count, last pitch of the at-bat coming up.
00:32:31 You know what, Jonas likes to get way out
00:32:33 on that third base side when he has a strike on ya.
00:32:35 Kyle Pearson hits that ball well out into left center.
00:32:39 Up against the DiMarini sign for a ground rule double.
00:32:42 And it looks like there was a little contact there
00:32:46 between Watts and Pearson when he was rounding first.
00:32:50 That would be on another sniper,
00:32:52 but it looked like Watts and Pearson got tangled up.
00:32:57 Another nice swing by Pearson.
00:32:59 Stays on top of it, drives it on out into the left center.
00:33:03 A one-hop uses the turf.
00:33:05 Gets an easy double.
00:33:07 As May and Scott were tracking, it was between the two.
00:33:11 Looks like Jonas and Pearson were exchanging a little,
00:33:21 a little tea over at second.
00:33:23 Here comes Jordan Robinson.
00:33:27 Middle infielder here for Florida.
00:33:30 Pearson's on two.
00:33:33 Two down, bottom three, nine-one.
00:33:35 Florida's put up four so far
00:33:37 in the bottom half of the third.
00:33:38 J. Rob looks at Jonas delivering
00:33:41 from the right side of the rubber on the first base side.
00:33:45 Does Jonas go back to the third base side
00:33:47 and get way out there?
00:33:48 He does.
00:33:49 Nice height from Jonas going on the outer half of the plate
00:33:54 and he gets Jordan Robinson to fly out to Bradley Scott
00:33:57 for the final out of the inning.
00:33:58 Nice, another nice sequence there by Jonas,
00:34:00 but not before Florida puts up four runs
00:34:04 in the bottom half of the third
00:34:05 to take a nine-one lead heading into the top
00:34:07 of the fourth inning.
00:34:09 Carolina's gotta get the bats going.
00:34:10 We'll be right back.
00:34:11 (upbeat music)
00:34:23 (upbeat music)
00:34:26 - Welcome back here to USSA Space Coast Stadium
00:34:46 in a nine-one ballgame.
00:34:48 Florida leads Carolina.
00:34:53 You know, Carolina's gotta get the bats going quick.
00:34:56 Realistically, it's been a lot of solos.
00:34:59 I think here we go.
00:35:02 Black, one from Carolina.
00:35:05 We got two or three from Florida.
00:35:09 I'm not keeping track.
00:35:11 The book is inside on the PA.
00:35:13 I'm just speculating instead.
00:35:17 But either which way, we're looking at Zach Watts,
00:35:19 the first baseman.
00:35:20 He's gonna lead off the way here for Carolina
00:35:22 in the top half of the fourth.
00:35:24 Gotta go here.
00:35:26 Gotta go here with those beautiful uniforms.
00:35:29 Gotta go right now.
00:35:30 Winner of this game will be facing Virginia
00:35:35 in the women's bracket final.
00:35:37 Nice piece by Jones.
00:35:41 Watts trying to go through the five-six.
00:35:45 Castillo makes a nice play on it.
00:35:47 And just off the back,
00:35:48 back of the heel of Bubba Mack,
00:35:52 trying to go for the pick.
00:35:53 Nice pitch by Jones, though.
00:35:58 Jones is really pitching well.
00:36:00 Both pitchers are.
00:36:00 They're putting the ball exactly where they want it.
00:36:02 Working in, working out,
00:36:04 different angles, different speeds.
00:36:06 Changing the eye level for these batters.
00:36:09 Jason Martel.
00:36:11 Last time up, Martel hit a shot out into left for a solo.
00:36:17 (crowd chattering)
00:36:20 Two-oh.
00:36:23 Two-oh to Martel.
00:36:24 Sean Jones delivers.
00:36:28 Martel swinging on the three-one count.
00:36:30 Ball is out of play.
00:36:34 Yup, looks like Jason Matusik just ran out of real estate
00:36:38 down the left field line, giving it a good bid.
00:36:40 - I would've liked, I would've mind seeing,
00:36:44 you know, maybe Orlando.
00:36:46 - I don't think Matusik could've,
00:36:47 but Orlando might've been able
00:36:48 to climb that wall a little bit.
00:36:49 That would've been something.
00:36:51 That would've been something good for the social media.
00:36:53 So now we got a full count.
00:36:57 With nobody out, runner on first, top four.
00:37:01 This is a big inning here for Carolina.
00:37:05 Really, and then you had, what, the two?
00:37:09 Two or three run score off of the,
00:37:11 two run score off of the throw around a couple innings ago.
00:37:16 And Carolina's defensive faults.
00:37:19 Jones misses outside for the walk to Martel.
00:37:24 Martel's gonna head on down to first.
00:37:30 Watts over to second.
00:37:32 Runners on first and second with nobody out.
00:37:34 Rich Roccobaldo coming to the plate,
00:37:36 the third baseman for Carolina.
00:37:37 If we were playing baseball in the '90s,
00:37:43 we'd be looking to bunt the runners over.
00:37:44 A little small ball, but not here.
00:37:47 Roccobaldo's looking to take a big daddy hack.
00:37:49 That ball's hit out on the left, doesn't have enough.
00:37:51 Matusik giving track up against the wall.
00:37:54 Nice grab there by Matusik.
00:37:57 Oh, and look at this.
00:37:58 Watts is coming all the way around from second
00:38:00 to score on the double bag sack.
00:38:04 Okay.
00:38:05 Nice hustle by Zach Watts.
00:38:09 And Carolina,
00:38:13 Carolina ends up changing their number for the first time
00:38:16 since the solo shot by Jason Martel back in the first inning.
00:38:19 Here comes Austin Mapes with one out.
00:38:23 Runner on first.
00:38:24 Infield's pull, outfield's pull.
00:38:27 Jones delivers inside.
00:38:32 Deep one-oh.
00:38:32 Jones works to the middle.
00:38:37 Austin Mapes hits that ball well out and to right.
00:38:40 Good track on it.
00:38:40 Jeremy Yates up against the wall.
00:38:43 And catches it for the second out.
00:38:45 It's a long out.
00:38:50 Two down.
00:38:51 Top four.
00:38:53 Nine-two.
00:38:57 Ty Cobb coming to the plate.
00:39:04 Carolina with two down.
00:39:05 Runner on first.
00:39:06 Carolina, you gotta get a couple here.
00:39:09 You gotta have some fun with two.
00:39:11 Gotta get some guys on base.
00:39:12 Gotta move some guys around.
00:39:13 Can't go out chasing seven.
00:39:17 Nice first pitch strike there from Sean Jones.
00:39:21 Got Travis Tucker on deck.
00:39:22 Jones working from the third base side.
00:39:26 Ty Cobb just over Orlando Castillo on a nice piece.
00:39:29 Looks like Jason Martel's
00:39:33 heading on to second and
00:39:36 looks like he's grinding through something right now.
00:39:41 Going over to two.
00:39:43 Here comes Travis Tucker.
00:39:44 Runners on first and second.
00:39:50 Has an opportunity here.
00:39:53 Gap shot.
00:39:54 Gap shot would be good.
00:39:57 Ty Cobb beyond Martel's butt.
00:40:00 Running around the bases.
00:40:01 And that's a nice piece back through the middle.
00:40:04 And look at that.
00:40:04 We're only gonna be able to move the runners up one.
00:40:07 As Jason Martel is struggling.
00:40:10 He's playing through some type of injury right now.
00:40:13 Tell you what, bananas in the bat bag are never a bad thing.
00:40:19 Especially on these hotter days.
00:40:22 I'm not sure what Martel's,
00:40:25 I'm not saying he's cramping,
00:40:26 I'm just saying it'd be nice.
00:40:27 Those bananas always save you.
00:40:28 I feel like being a butter and banana sandwich
00:40:31 during a tournament's always a good thing.
00:40:33 There we go, Josh Fyfe.
00:40:39 Josh Fyfe up, bases loaded, two down.
00:40:42 That's it.
00:40:44 Oh, that one's a long run in
00:40:46 as the center fielder for Florida.
00:40:48 And Kanfer comes all the way in to grab it.
00:40:52 At least three on board there.
00:40:55 Nine-two after the top of the fourth.
00:40:59 North Carolina need a couple more there.
00:41:01 We'll be right back with Florida coming up.
00:41:03 (upbeat music)

00:41:46 - Welcome back here to the stadium
00:42:05 down at the Space Coast Complex in Viera, Florida
00:42:08 in a nine-two ball game.
00:42:10 It's really been a battle of the home runs.
00:42:14 Carolina had one bad inning
00:42:17 where they threw the ball around a little bit.
00:42:19 It would be a two-base error and scored two runs.
00:42:23 Other than that, it's been home runs
00:42:24 have been the story for the most part.
00:42:26 Taking a look at Matty Mozelle,
00:42:28 he's gonna be leading off here in the bottom half
00:42:30 of the fourth inning for Florida.
00:42:32 Temperature is dropping.
00:42:37 The fan in the booth is working well.
00:42:39 Jordan looks a little more comfortable
00:42:41 than she was about two games ago.
00:42:43 Matty Mozelle looking backside.
00:42:45 Roccobaldo, quick up fire and he held the bag.
00:42:49 Watts holds the bag there.
00:42:51 Nice job by Roccobaldo, got rid of it quick.
00:42:53 Mozelle does that lefty slap down the third-base line,
00:42:57 trying to beat it out.
00:42:58 And just get him by half a step.
00:43:03 Nice job by Watts to hold the bag.
00:43:07 (air whooshing)
00:43:09 Look at the replay, Roccobaldo gets rid of it quickly.
00:43:12 (air whooshing)
00:43:18 Ball outside, 1-0.
00:43:19 Jonas to camp for Travis Tucker, you dirty man!
00:43:29 Look at him, I love this.
00:43:32 I love the gloves, you know that.
00:43:33 You know how I like a good defensive player.
00:43:36 Maybe you don't if you're new.
00:43:37 I love a good glove defensive player, look at this.
00:43:40 Move it to his right, pops right up.
00:43:44 Gets the out.
00:43:45 Nice job by Travis Tucker,
00:43:46 the second baseman here for Carolina.
00:43:48 I do, I see them, there's the pockets I was talking about
00:43:55 a couple games ago on these pants, they're great.
00:43:57 Wasn't a fan of them when I first started seeing them,
00:44:00 when I first had a pair with those pockets.
00:44:04 It's a game changer.
00:44:06 (crowd chattering)
00:44:09 We're at the bottom of the order here
00:44:10 with Sean Jones in two down.
00:44:12 Bottom four, 9-2 ballgame.
00:44:16 Sean Jones hits a laser foul, out of play.
00:44:19 Carolina wants to get this out.
00:44:23 Jones, he wants to help himself get on base
00:44:25 and roll the top of the order.
00:44:26 Two down.
00:44:33 Jonas, working from the third base side,
00:44:35 delivers inside, ball one.
00:44:37 One and one.
00:44:38 Switches side of the rubber over on the first base side now.
00:44:44 Jones, he hits that ball high out in the left.
00:44:46 Jackson May camping underneath it.
00:44:48 He has it, and that's gonna be the final out of the inning.
00:44:52 You have to capitalize on this now if you're Carolina,
00:44:55 as we're gonna head into the top of the fifth.
00:44:57 They are chasing seven, it is a 9-2 ballgame.
00:45:00 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsors.
00:45:03 (dramatic music)

00:46:04 - Back here, we got Shakira blasting over the PA.
00:46:08 Loving the vibe we got going on a Saturday night
00:46:10 here at Space Coast Stadium in Vieira, Florida.
00:46:13 I'm big boy J. Rowe from Bring It Podcast,
00:46:16 and we're having a great time down here
00:46:18 at the Challenge Cup watching the men's major.
00:46:21 We have men's and women's C, men's B,
00:46:25 and the women's major also being played down here
00:46:28 this same weekend.
00:46:28 It's a great time, a lot of states down here
00:46:31 getting to watch a lot of ball throughout the days.
00:46:33 Hopefully you're using this subscription wisely.
00:46:36 Jackson Maye going backside through the one four.
00:46:39 Jackson Maye hustling out the box,
00:46:41 and give it to me, Jackson Maye.
00:46:44 Love the hustle from you.
00:46:48 As we've talked about time and time again,
00:46:50 you may remember from the World Series
00:46:52 earlier in the broadcast, or maybe throughout the year,
00:46:54 I love somebody wearing a little hustle cologne,
00:46:57 and Jackson Maye's wearing it liberally.
00:47:03 Tell you what, that is something
00:47:05 that can get you fired up right there
00:47:07 as we're looking at Jackson Maye standing on two.
00:47:10 That's a shallow piece in the center,
00:47:12 and he just hustled out the box,
00:47:13 and now gives Brandon Jonas a chance
00:47:15 to help himself out and swing freely.
00:47:17 Flares that one out to right,
00:47:20 into foul ground, and Matty Mozell
00:47:23 just off the pinky of his glove
00:47:25 making a, trying to make a great diving grab.
00:47:28 He came up with that one.
00:47:30 That would have been a hell of a grab.
00:47:33 He went a long way for that.
00:47:36 Tusik now behind the dish.
00:47:44 Brandon Jonas, he's not one of the Jonas brothers.
00:47:52 He's not been on tour with them lately.
00:47:56 Brandon Jonas, there you go, Jackson Maye on two.
00:48:01 Sean Jones delivers, back through the middle, one down.
00:48:04 It almost would have been better.
00:48:13 The better spot there is if Matty Mozell,
00:48:15 like him not catching the ball
00:48:17 actually is better for Florida.
00:48:19 Keeps Jackson Maye at two.
00:48:21 If Matty Mozell had caught that ball in foul ground,
00:48:24 Jackson Maye is definitely at third.
00:48:27 (crowd cheering)
00:48:28 I think, is that Yates still out right?
00:48:30 I'm not sure, but whoever the right fielder was coming in,
00:48:33 Mozell probably would have flipped it to him.
00:48:34 As we're looking at Bradley Scott,
00:48:36 skies that one into shallow left,
00:48:40 and Orlando Castillo makes the over the shoulder grab.
00:48:44 Nice catch by Orlando Castillo.
00:48:45 Not an easy play, but man,
00:48:51 Orlando makes it look smooth and easy.
00:48:54 (air whooshing)
00:48:56 That's a tough one, you're looking back over your shoulder,
00:48:59 makes a great grab.
00:49:00 Comes up, making sure Jackson Maye's not looking
00:49:03 to take off from two.
00:49:05 We're at the top of the order with Robert Blackburn.
00:49:08 Two down, runner on second, nine-two ballgame, top five.
00:49:11 Oh, nice piece, oh, Matty Mozell,
00:49:15 look at you laying out, coming from the knees.
00:49:17 What a grab by Matty Mozell!
00:49:20 Great play there.
00:49:23 Dive into his right from his knees, gets the final out.
00:49:27 We're gonna take another peek.
00:49:28 Robert Blackburn hit that ball well.
00:49:30 Full Superman into the one-four hole
00:49:33 from his knees across his body, and gets him out.
00:49:36 We'll be right back after a word from our sponsors.
00:49:39 (air whooshing)
00:49:43 That was awesome.
00:49:44 (dramatic music)
00:49:47 (air whooshing)
00:49:50 (dramatic music)
00:49:53 (air whooshing)

00:50:24 (ball bouncing)
00:50:37 (ball bouncing)
00:50:43 (dramatic music)
00:50:45 (ball bouncing)
00:50:51 Welcome back to the stadium as we're taking in
00:51:03 Florida and North Carolina, nine-two ballgame, bottom five.
00:51:08 Laid off double is left stranded there.
00:51:12 But I gotta tell you what, that play to end the inning
00:51:14 by Matty Mozell at second.
00:51:16 Diving full on out to his right from his knees,
00:51:20 throwing cross body.
00:51:21 Great play, what a way to end the inning.
00:51:25 They hold North Carolina to a zero on the top of the fifth.
00:51:29 We're looking at Andrew Collins coming in here,
00:51:31 leading off in the bottom of the fifth.
00:51:40 Nice comeback pitch there by Jonas.
00:51:43 Collins didn't like that one.
00:51:45 That's not height again inside, full count.
00:51:58 Last pitch of the at bat coming up to Andrew Collins,
00:52:01 leading off here in the bottom half of the fifth inning.
00:52:03 Andrew Collins opens up and throws that out
00:52:05 into left field on a line.
00:52:07 (crowd chattering)
00:52:10 Nice swing there by Andrew Collins,
00:52:15 that pitch was inside, he liked it and took it.
00:52:18 Right out into left on a line with a one hopper
00:52:21 out to the left fielder Jackson May.
00:52:22 Nobody out here, leadoff runner aboard for Florida,
00:52:28 Jeremy Yates at the plate.
00:52:30 Brandon Jonas taking a look around,
00:52:35 hard pull in the infield, pull in the outfield.
00:52:37 Jeremy Yates, get out of here!
00:52:42 What yard house, that's over Yates' yard house
00:52:46 in right field.
00:52:47 Great swing there by the lefty Jeremy Yates.
00:52:52 - He just felt like that was coming.
00:52:55 That ball was hit deep out into the night.
00:52:58 Great swing.
00:53:03 - Ryan Harvey at the plate, 11-2 ball game, bottom five.
00:53:07 Florida is leading, winner of this game
00:53:11 will take on Virginia in the winner's bracket final
00:53:13 directly after this.
00:53:15 Nice first pitch strike from Jonas.
00:53:19 Harvey steps out.
00:53:26 Recollects, he's ready.
00:53:32 Gives the okay, Jonas from the third base side delivers.
00:53:35 Oh, and Ryan Harvey misses that one down into the left.
00:53:40 Looked like it was a little harder hit off the back,
00:53:43 couldn't really tell off the angle we have,
00:53:45 but fouled out, just pulled a foul.
00:53:47 11-2, bottom five.
00:53:56 So used to him and Yates going back to back here.
00:54:01 It's almost like, I can see what you can do,
00:54:03 watch what I can do.
00:54:05 Here comes Bubba Mack, he's been part of that crew too.
00:54:07 - Nice swing by Bubba Mack out into left center.
00:54:10 Good track here by Bradley Scott, just can't get to it,
00:54:12 makes a diving attempt up against the Marucci sign.
00:54:16 Bubba Mack's gonna head on over to three with a triple.
00:54:20 Nice triple by Bubba Mack.
00:54:26 Bradley Scott made a great bid at it.
00:54:29 Nice seed by Bubba Mack out into the left center gap.
00:54:33 Just dives right in front of Bradley Scott's glove.
00:54:36 11-2, one out, runner on third.
00:54:44 - Good hustle by Bubba Mack to get on over to three.
00:54:46 And here comes Jason Matusik,
00:54:48 who's been hitting the ball well.
00:54:49 - Jason Matusik with one down, runner on third.
00:54:57 Florida plus nine in the bottom of the fifth inning.
00:55:00 Good height there, but just hits the plate, 1-0.
00:55:06 Jonas working from the first base side,
00:55:09 gets the okay, delivers.
00:55:12 Matusik elevates that one out into left.
00:55:14 Jackson Mayes got a run coming in for it, shallow left.
00:55:19 Bubba Mack takes two steps, doesn't go anywhere,
00:55:24 draws the throw.
00:55:25 (crowd chattering)
00:55:28 Two down.
00:55:30 Tell you what, this is a big opportunity here
00:55:35 for Carolina again.
00:55:37 They need to get the bats going though.
00:55:41 If you're gonna hold Florida to 11 runs so far through five,
00:55:45 you need to make sure the offense is working.
00:55:48 Now it's something that Carolina's been struggling with here
00:55:51 so far is they've only put up two runs,
00:55:53 one in the first and one in the fourth.
00:55:56 First pitch from Jonas, past the ceiling.
00:56:01 Orlando Castillo, Bubba Mack a third, Castillo.
00:56:06 - Back through the middle, right at Brandon Jonas
00:56:10 who closed that one down.
00:56:11 Nice play by Jonas.
00:56:15 Castillo hits that one on the screws right at him.
00:56:18 11-2 after five, Carolina's gotta get it going real quick.
00:56:22 Look at that play.
00:56:23 You pitchers are absolutely nuts.
00:56:27 We'll be back.
00:56:28 (dramatic music)
00:56:33 (dramatic music)
00:56:35 (dramatic music)
00:56:38 (dramatic music)
00:56:41 (upbeat music)
00:57:04 (upbeat music)
00:57:06 (upbeat music)
00:57:09 - Welcome back here to the stadium
00:57:35 as we're heading into the top of the sixth inning
00:57:36 in our 11-2 ball game where Florida's leading
00:57:39 North Carolina.
00:57:40 We're taking a look at Zach Watts
00:57:45 leading off here in the top of the sixth.
00:57:50 Sean Jones, nice piece outside.
00:57:52 Watts sends that out into the bleachers
00:57:54 along the third baseline.
00:57:57 (players shouting)
00:57:59 11-2 here in the top half of the sixth inning.
00:58:09 Carolina's gotta figure out how to get some offense going.
00:58:12 Had a couple of opportunities
00:58:14 but haven't been able to get the runners across
00:58:16 but there it is, Zach Watts hits that ball high out
00:58:18 into right field, back at the wall.
00:58:20 Looking up and over and Watts hits a solo shot
00:58:24 to lead the top of the sixth off for North Carolina.
00:58:29 11-3, use that momentum now for Carolina,
00:58:33 start building on top of that.
00:58:36 - That ball's hit well out into the high night.
00:58:38 Just in front of the palm trees of right field.
00:58:43 Here comes Jason Martell.
00:58:46 - Jason Martell hits that out into left center.
00:58:52 Oh, a little basket catch by Jason Matusik.
00:58:56 Nice way to stay with that by Matusik.
00:59:02 - Again, once these balls are getting by the bleachers
00:59:07 they are just dying.
00:59:08 This is what we've seen the last two nights.
00:59:11 Seen it a couple of times, saw it last game
00:59:13 with Alabama in their outfield as well.
00:59:15 Nice job by Matusik to stay with it and grab the out.
00:59:21 Here comes Rich Roccobaldo,
00:59:24 the third baseman for Carolina.
00:59:26 Jones on the first base side delivers.
00:59:32 Roccobaldo right to Bubba Mack, two down.
00:59:35 Nice job by Bubba Mack.
00:59:38 Little backhander, one hopper, heads on over
00:59:43 and a little toe tap for the second out of the inning.
00:59:46 Here comes Austin Mapes.
00:59:50 (crowd cheering)
00:59:53 Austin Mapes getting ready,
00:59:57 playing him hard, pull everywhere.
00:59:59 Matusik is on his own island, oh, in left field, left center.
01:00:06 Nice first pitch strike by Sean Jones.
01:00:09 He's working on the middle third base side,
01:00:13 middle of the rubber, going higher.
01:00:15 One and one.
01:00:18 (crowd cheering)
01:00:19 Little pumps delivers.
01:00:21 Nice piece on the outside.
01:00:23 Nice job by Jordan Robinson with a backhanded grab.
01:00:28 Quick transfer to get the final out of the inning.
01:00:31 Mapes looking to go back through the middle
01:00:35 and a great pitch by Sean Jones on the outer portion
01:00:38 of the plate, J-Rob makes the play for the final out.
01:00:41 11-3 heading into the bottom of the sixth
01:00:44 and this is Jordan Robinson collecting everybody's glove.
01:00:47 (upbeat music)
01:00:51 (upbeat music)
01:00:53 (upbeat music)
01:00:56 (upbeat music)

01:01:04 (upbeat music)
01:01:07 (dramatic music)
01:01:10 (laughing)
01:01:35 - Welcome back here.
01:01:37 Oh, you got Mick Cackle from J-Ro,
01:01:39 who is wearing the stadium.
01:01:41 Oh, big boy J-Ro for bringing podcast,
01:01:42 having a great time here at the stadium,
01:01:46 watching some great ball at the men's major challenge cup.
01:01:50 11-3 ball game here though.
01:01:53 Carolina just can't get anything going.
01:01:56 Their scoreline looks like a binary code.
01:02:01 Just a bunch of ones and zeros up on the board.
01:02:04 (upbeat music)
01:02:06 Oh no, look at that, see?
01:02:09 One, zero, zero, one, zero, one.
01:02:10 I'm not sure what that means.
01:02:12 I know it means three runs, but not a coder.
01:02:15 So I can't help you out there.
01:02:16 11-3, bottom six.
01:02:18 Kyle Pearson's gonna lead the way for the Florida boys.
01:02:23 Whatever happened to the Island boys?
01:02:29 They were a hot mess for, I'd like to say just a minute,
01:02:33 but it was a little too long.
01:02:34 (laughs)
01:02:36 That was not a good representation
01:02:39 of this beautiful sunshine state.
01:02:42 Kyle Pearson, that's a great representation.
01:02:44 Nice swing, but Jackson May plays it perfectly for one down.
01:02:48 One down in the bottom of the sixth inning,
01:02:53 an 11-3 ball game.
01:02:55 Tell you what, good pitching from both sides again.
01:02:58 Keep talking about it.
01:03:00 Something I really like to hone in on here,
01:03:02 this level especially.
01:03:04 You see the pitchers working different sides,
01:03:07 different heights, speeds, and where they want it.
01:03:09 Trying to get the hitters to swing at the pitch they want.
01:03:13 Here comes Jordan Robinson.
01:03:16 Too high.
01:03:22 One-oh, Jonas delivers.
01:03:30 J-Rob elevates that into shallow center.
01:03:34 Travis Tucker going back.
01:03:36 He's got it.
01:03:37 Travis Tucker playing great here today.
01:03:40 Defensively and offensively.
01:03:44 I think he's,
01:03:45 I'm gonna try to say, I feel like he's three for three.
01:03:49 I think he's at least two for three.
01:03:51 Defensively, Travis Tucker's been shining.
01:03:55 Here's Maddie Moselle, we're taking a look.
01:03:57 He made that great grab a couple innings ago.
01:04:00 Diving to his right from his knees
01:04:02 to get the final out of the inning.
01:04:04 Having a quick little mouth visit here.
01:04:07 Robert Blackburn's gonna go talk to Brandon Jonas.
01:04:10 And now we're ready to go.
01:04:20 Blackburn's back behind the dish.
01:04:21 Maddie Moselle, he's ready to go.
01:04:25 Jonas delivers.
01:04:27 Off the handle, out into right.
01:04:30 Ball hanging up there.
01:04:31 Should be the final out of the inning.
01:04:34 And it is.
01:04:35 Austin Mapes reels that one in.
01:04:37 11-three, heading to the top of the seventh.
01:04:40 Hopefully if Carolina can get the bats going,
01:04:44 we can get a little excitement here in the seventh inning.
01:04:46 We'll be right back from the stadium.
01:04:49 (upbeat music)
01:04:53 (bats thudding)
01:04:55 (upbeat music)
01:04:58 (bats thudding)

01:05:32 (upbeat music)
01:05:34 (upbeat music)
01:05:42 Welcome back here to the stadium
01:05:55 as we're heading into the top of the seventh inning.
01:06:00 Winner of this game takes on Virginia.
01:06:03 They did a quick costume change
01:06:05 in the winner's bracket final.
01:06:06 11-three.
01:06:07 Looking at Ty Cobb leading off in the top of the seventh
01:06:11 for Carolina.
01:06:12 Carolina's gotta get it going really quick.
01:06:14 You need an extra base hit here,
01:06:16 somebody on base, that's not gonna do it.
01:06:17 Maddie Moselle spikes it into the ground for one down.
01:06:20 You need something big here quickly
01:06:25 from Carolina to get the boys going.
01:06:27 (crowd murmuring)
01:06:30 Here comes Travis Tucker,
01:06:34 the second baseman that's been playing well defensively
01:06:37 on both sides of the plate actually.
01:06:39 Taking a look at Bubba Mack.
01:06:42 Travis Tucker ready to go.
01:06:48 Sean Jones working from the first base side,
01:06:50 delivers, pitch inside.
01:06:52 Travis Tucker, a nice inside-out swing.
01:06:55 Foul up against the bleachers along the right field line.
01:06:58 Oh one.
01:07:00 Oh one.
01:07:07 Jones, middle of the rubber, delivers.
01:07:12 Nice piece by Travis Tucker,
01:07:13 off the tip of Maddie Moselle's glove.
01:07:15 They got their first runner aboard here,
01:07:20 does Carolina.
01:07:22 (crowd murmuring)
01:07:25 Looking at Travis Tucker over on first.
01:07:29 One down here in the top of the seventh inning for Carolina.
01:07:33 And Josh Fyfe stepping up.
01:07:36 Playing on pool in the infield,
01:07:45 shading a pool in the outfield.
01:07:48 Wind is blowing out to left across the diamond,
01:07:51 more towards the foul pole.
01:07:52 Jones from the first base side delivers.
01:07:57 That ball's hit well, that's tailing away from Camford.
01:08:01 Nice piece by, nice grab by Camford,
01:08:02 and center to come across.
01:08:05 Cover some good range as that ball is tailing,
01:08:07 and Camford started on the pool side a second.
01:08:10 Good jump by Joey Camford
01:08:14 for the second out of the inning.
01:08:17 And now you have North Carolina down to their final out.
01:08:21 (crowd murmuring)
01:08:22 Chasing eight.
01:08:23 This is a tall order when they haven't put up
01:08:26 more than one in an inning.
01:08:28 And they're looking for eight now with two outs.
01:08:32 Here comes Jackson May.
01:08:37 Those Carolina hats are nice.
01:08:39 Here comes Jackson May.
01:08:40 Jones, first pitch, ball outside.
01:08:44 One and O.
01:08:45 Jonesy working from the middle.
01:08:49 Jackson May elevates that one, and that should be it.
01:08:52 Tuzik coming in to grab it.
01:08:55 And they have the final out of the inning.
01:08:58 11-3, the binary code stands for North Carolina.
01:09:02 As they only put up three in three of their innings.
01:09:05 Florida's gonna be in the winner's bracket final,
01:09:08 taking on Virginia.
01:09:10 We're gonna take a short break here.
01:09:13 Go get yourself some beverages
01:09:15 and refill the popcorn bucket as well.
01:09:18 Maybe a little caramel corn.
01:09:20 And we'll be back with the winner's bracket final
01:09:22 as Florida takes on Virginia.
