On South Carolina’s run game
"We’ve got to do a better job on gap integrity and filling gaps on zone
reads. Lattimore looked very healthy to me, and even better than last
year. He’s a great back and runs with a tremendous power level. But, we
have to do a better job of stopping the run and getting that fixed this
week. I don’t think it had anything to do with us wearing down."

start, a 44-21 win over Army on Saturday night. He rushed for 96 yards

his team-best 18th home run of the year with a solo shot into the right
field bullpen. Florida battled back to tie the game in the 3rd inning
when Cody Dent led off the inning with a triple and scored on Preston
Tucker’s groundout to first base. A bases loaded, two-out walk to Dent
extended the fourth inning for Nolan Fontana, who singled through the
middle to drive in two runs and give the Gators their first lead of the
day. Florida added to the lead in the sixth when Daniel Pigott doubled
to start the inning and scored on a double play.
Commodores capture
Regional
Vanderbilt captured the team’s
second straight regional with a 6-1 win over Belmont Sunday night at
Hawkins Field.
Senior Taylor Hill dominated the Bruins over eight innings setting a
career-high with 13 strikeouts. The right-hander allowed only a solo
home run to Tim Egerton in the second inning and scattered five hits
over his eight innings to earn his fifth win of the year. Hill struck
out at least one batter in seven of his eight frames and fanned
multiple batters in five separate innings while allowing only one base
runner to reach scoring position after the home run. Senior Mark Lamm
worked a scoreless ninth to finish off the Regional Championship.
The
first game is more than five months away. Spring practice just started
last week. And the new coaching staff is still learning the names of
the players.
Still, there is an already hot topic involving the Vanderbilt football
program. Who's going to be the quarterback in 2011?

sophomore Anthony Gomez is not a batter that draws walks.
Nor is he a batter that strikes out.
Nor is he a batter that goes deep into the count or keeps a pitcher

"I've never been one to be too patient at that plate," Gomez confessed.
