#2 Florida vs Oral Roberts (CRAZY GAME!) | College World Series 1-0 Game | 2023 College Baseball

Florida Baseball and Oral Roberts Baseball played in the winners bracket in the 2023 College World Series. The winner would improve to 2-0 in bracket play, meaning they would only need 1 win in 2 tries to advance to the College World Series Finals, while the loser would play TCU in an elimination game on Tuesday, needing a total of 3 consecutive wins in elimination games to move on.

Mad props to ORU man. That's a good baseball team.

I was at this game and it felt like the calls were very inconsistent. Hopefully this is not the end of Oral Roberts they were super fun to watch.

Same here, by the end of the game I never knew what was a strike or ball. Could’ve just been my view in the stands though.

I know most if these we're tough catches but could a UF outfielder please make a catch!? Also that inside the park home run was ridiculous as well by the outfield. They we're not paying attention on that play.

Both teams had chances to blow this open. It was a good game. It has been a real good CWS with the exception of a few Umpires. But they have been consistently bad for all the teams. So far all the games but one has been a one run game.

@11:38, why is the catcher pulling the pitch back into the strike zone?

[@Chad13]

It’s called framing

[@robertbrown7470]

@@Chad13 I'd call it what it is, the catcher is pulling a pitch back into the strike zone. Framing is how you catch the pitch. But a lot of people now include pulling a pitch in as framing.

[@robertbrown7470]

I'm being facetious really. He's pulling it in because it probably is not a strike and the catcher is hoping the plate umpire is not paying attention - or something along those lines. Usually a catcher gets away with that because the plate umpire is making his decision on the pitch before it is caught.

[@ThePisteeBoyz]

[@irish03gator]

Terrible field play by UF Thai game. Shortstop had a real stinker of a game outside of his HR. Super pitching for the first 6 innings and hr’s saved us. Oral Roberts hung in there and just missed a comeback win on that last pitch. Go Gators!

[@thecook9864]

Florida SS did just about all he could to give OrU the game. Both teams played great ball, good game

[@Underratedmen]

Unfortunately, those split finger fastballs will shorten your career 100 percent of the time. They just create too much stress on the elbow. As a catcher at a high level, I’ve personally seen that pitch destroy more arms than any other.

[@r4643]

shit is absolutely disgusting tho lol

[@chrisdunfield513]

Looks more like a knuckle curve, there's so little rotation. I don't know if that makes any difference to the elbow stress.

[@michaelwolf6424]

Maybe. But the split saved Houston"s Mike Scott's career and put Bruce Sutter in the Hall of Fame.

[@YuriGoofov]

they need to start using wood bats in college baseball, there is no reason other than sponsorship money to use aluminum.

[@calebfarmer5845]

Oral Roberts Coach needs to teach his pitcher how to control himself. Pitcher celebrating like hes hot shit down 2 runs hits the leadoff batter and then throws the ball away at first... then bush league first basemen tries to hold the runner down with his glove without the ball. Learn to play baseball the right way and you might get some better luck at the end of the game.
