LaViolette robs Florida of homer in 9th to preserve Texas A&M’s 3-2 College World Series win

— Jace LaViolette robbed Cade Kurland of a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning, Justin Lamkin and two relievers struck out 16 and Texas A&M held off Florida 3-2 in a weather-delayed College World Series opener that ended early Sunday. Texas A&M scored its runs in the first three innings against Liam Peterson, the first freshman to start a CWS opener for Florida, and then relied on Lamkin, Chris Cortez and Evan Aschenbeck to hold down the Gators’ high-powered offense. “Super awesome game, and I told Jace I’m really happy he’s tall,” Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle said. It was a real cool play.” Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan said he thought the ball was out, mostly based on Kurland’s reaction.
