The Florida Gators punched their ticket to the SEC Baseball Tournament Championship Game Sunday afternoon after defeating Texas A&M 9-0.
In fact, the Gators finished Saturday 2-0, with the first win coming against the Alabama Crimson Tide 11-6.
The story of the game was Florida starter Timmy Manning. The sophomore southpaw shut down the Aggies potent lineup. Manning was pulled in the bottom of the 6th. He allowed just 5 hits over 5 innings with 6 strikeouts and no runs. Fisher Jameson also pitched well allowing no hits, no runs and struck out 4.
Gators centerfielder Jud Fabian got the scoring started against the Aggies with a solo homerun in the top of the second.
