Florida didn’t hold back Sunday afternoon in Omaha.
The Gators rolled past LSU in historic fashion in Game 2 of the Men’s College World Series on Sunday, 24-4. That win, following their loss Saturday, forced a deciding Game 3 on Monday night.
Florida set or matched several MCWS records in the win. The Gators had six home runs and a record-tying 23 hits in the 20-run win. Their 24 runs was the most scored in a single game in MCWS history, too.
The Gators’ 20-run win was the most lopsided in the event since Notre Dame beat Northern Colorado, 23-2, in 1957, according to ESPN.
Both Jac Caglianone and Ty Evans had two home runs in the win, and Evans hit a grand slam in the third to put the Gators up 7-3 at the time. That was the first-ever grand slam in a MCWS finals game.
Wyatt Langford and BT Roipelle also hit home runs in the win. Caglianone now has 33 home runs on the year, the most in the nation.
LSU had five errors, a season-high, that led to six runs Sunday afternoon. Florida starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep allowed four hits, walked six and hit two batters in his less than three innings on the mound.
Sunday’s blowout win came on the heels of LSU’s 4-3 win Saturday night. Tigers pitcher Ty Floyd struck out a career-high 17 batters in their 11-inning win in Game 1 of the series, which was the most in a MCWS game in 51 years, and then Cade Beloso hit a game-winning home run in the 11th to finally end the contest.
Game 3 of the series is set for Monday night. The Tigers are looking for their first national title since 2009 and seventh total. The Gators haven’t won a championship since 2017.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
