Two-way star Jac Caglianone broke the Florida single-season home run record to help his team eliminate NC State and move on in the MCWS.
Jac Caglianone puts the Gators ahead of NC State with a three-run home run in the top of the second inning.
Florida moved to another elimination game Tuesday against the loser of Monday night's Texas A&M-Kentucky matchup.Caglianone, a projected top-five pick in next month's amateur draft because of his bat, not his arm, labored through a 33-pitch first inning. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound lefty hit a batter and walked two to load the bases, gave up Brandon Butterworth's RBI single and then got a strikeout and fly out to mitigate what could have been a big inning for NC State.
The 404-foot low rider was his 34th homer, breaking his school's single-season record of 33 set last year, and moved him into a tie with Matt LaPorta for career homers at Florida with 74. The Wolfpack's Alec Makarewicz and Gators' Tyler Shelnut also homered, and NC State cut the lead to 5-4 in the fifth on Butterworth's RBI double.
