Over here at the Red, and there in the three years I've been covering the baseball team, I haven't seen the stands so full. This comes close to the last time Florida showed up to the Red -- in 2005, the same year they made it to the Final of the World Series, only to lose to Texas.
We''ll, this is what coach Lelo Prado told me he wanted, for well, every game, but so far the attendance at the games has nearly quadrupled. Even on the a hot or cold Sunday game there is more than 200 people.
Can't say I'm shocked since many are bigger fans of Prado than of the Bulls, but they've got to start somewhere.
As for an update, top of the second no score with true freshman Matt Quevedo on the mound. Left-fieder Petrie hit the ball to the warning track but Ty Taborelli made the easy catch.
More later after the game, which has a big media presence tonight. All three papers are here, the Alligator, UF's student paper is here and the radio for both teams, however, no TV. That's this weekend on Catch 47.
