FLORIDA Gators University of Florida head baseball coach Kevin O’Sullivan earned 2011 College Coach of the Year honors from Baseball America on Thursday. O’Sullivan just completed his fourth year and guided the Gators to a runner-up finish at the NCAA College World Series with a school-record 53 victories and an overall mark of 53-19. He is the first baseball coach from UF to collect the publication’s yearly accolade. Under O’Sullivan’s tutelage, Florida earned a trip to Omaha in consecutive seasons for the first time and made Team-By-Team Notes the CWS for the seventh time in school history (1988, 1991, 1996, 1998, 2005, 2010, 2011). Although UF fell in the CWS Championship Finals to South Carolina, it notched a second-place showing for the second time in school history (2005). The Gators secured the All-SEC final round by downing Texas (8-4) and then knocking off league rival Vanderbilt twice (3-1, 6-4). Florida had been the second national seed in the NCAA Tournament, its third-straight year within the Top-8 seeds. The Gators swept the NCAA Gainesville Regional with victories over Manhattan (17-3) and Miami (Fla.) (5-4, 11-4) and then defeated Mississippi State twice (11-1, 3-4, 8-6) in a classic Gainesville Super Regional to advance to the College World Series. O’Sullivan joined Joe Arnold (1988, 1991) and Andy Lopez (1996, 1998) as Gator head coaches who have made multiple trips to Omaha. This season marked the 10th time that McKethan Stadium has hosted NCAA Regional action and the third-straight year for the first time in school history. The Gators have now gone on to the College World Series from Gainesville on six occasions: 1991, 1996, 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2011. Florida is 35-10 (.778) on its own turf during NCAA play and claimed five of the six outings on its own turf this season. O’Sullivan is 13-3 (.813) in NCAA play at home, 9-0 (1.000) in Regionals and 4-3 (.571) in Super Regionals. GEORGIA Bulldogs The 16th-ranked Oregon State Beavers posted a 6-4 win over Georgia Sunday to capture the NCAA Corvallis Regional in front of 3,032 at Goss Stadium. The Bulldogs saw their impressive post-season run end that included battling to the NCAA Regional final here after dropping their opening game. On Saturday, they beat Arkansas-Little Rock and on Sunday rallied past No. 25 Creighton 5-4 in 11 innings and then battled OSU. Also last week, they reached the SEC Tournament semifinal after losing their opening game in Hoover, Ala. They needed three straight wins to qualify for the postseason and knocked off Auburn, top-ranked South Carolina and third-ranked Florida. The Beavers improved to 41-17 and advance to an NCAA Super Regional where they will play second-ranked Vanderbilt in Nashville as the Commodores are a national seed. Against the Beavers, Georgia (33-32) struck for a run in the bottom of the first to take a 1-0 lead. Junior second baseman Levi Hyams, who was named to the NCAA All-Regional team, continued his torrid hitting with a single. After an 0-4 for start to the regional Friday, this latest base hit made him 7-for-his-last 10. A wild pitch by OSU left-hander Josh Osich moved him to second and a fly ball by Curt Powell allowed him to get to third. Then, sophomore shortstop Kyle Farmer notched his team-leading 56th RBI with a groundout to score Hyams. OSU answered with one out in the second when first baseman Parker Berberet connected for a home run off sophomore left-hander Blake Dieterich to tie it at 1-1.University of Georgia junior outfielder Zach Cone was selected by the Texas Rangers with the 37th overall pick of the Major League Baseball Draft Monday. The Bulldogs are en route back to Athens after reaching the NCAA Corvallis Regional final on the campus of Oregon State. Cone learned he had been drafted while on a plane in Des Moines, Iowa. The team left Eugene, Oregon Monday afternoon and made a stop in Iowa before heading to Atlanta and ultimately returning to Athens. Cone and his teammates were watching and listening to the draft as they boarded the charter plane. When the Rangers announced their selection on MLB. com., everyone on the plane started clapping and cheering for Cone. KENTUCKY Wildcats The Kentucky baseball team wrapped up its 2011 season with three games at No. 4 Florida, posting one win in the second game of the series. UK fell in the opener, 9-6, before posting the largest win over UF in program history, 14-1 on Friday night. In the rubber match, with Florida playing for the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship, the Gators clinched the league with a 19-3 win. Kentucky (25-30, 8-22 SEC) rode the arm of ace righty Alex Meyer to a win on Friday night, posting a 13-run advantage, the largest win over the Gators in program annals. Meyer went seven innings for his seventh win on the year and UK got a breakout offensive performance, including the blistering-hot bat of Thomas McCarthy. UK fell shy of winning its first series in Gainesville since the 1999 season after the rubber match loss on Saturday. Meyer (7-5, 2.94 ERA) finished leading UK in nearly every pitching category, ranking first in the SEC in strikeouts (110), first in complete games (four), first in complete-game shutouts (two), ranking second in innings pitched (101). Meyer’s 110 strikeouts rank ninth in single-season history and his 253 career strikeouts checks in sixth in UK annals. The 6-foot-9, 220-pounder tossed 10 quality starts in 14 outings, including seven consecutive quality starts to end the season. Offensively, McCarthy finished on a 10-game hitting streak and finished just shy of a pair of SEC batting titles, batting .371 overall and .411 in SEC play. McCarthy totaled 19 doubles, two triples, seven homers and 39 RBI, stealing eight bases. In SEC play, Mc- Carthy hit .411 with five homers and 24 RBI, totaling a .652 slugging mark in SEC play. Outfielder Chad Wright totaled a .359 average in 2011, with 16 doubles, six homers and 40 RBI. Senior shortstop Taylor Black added a .319 mark with 16 doubles, four homers and 38 RBI. Braden Kapteyn led UK with 42 RBI and UK’s catching tandem of Luke Maile and Michael Williams combined for 16 homers and 59 RBI. lsu • kentucky • georgia • florida • auburn • arkansas • alabama 89
