Following Tuesday’s loss against FSU in Jacksonville, head coach Kevin O’Sullivan said, “I’ve seen enough of these games on Tuesdays and we are going to have to make some adjustments.”
And adjustments were made. Brandon Neely will start Fridays game against No. 21 Mississippi State. Neely has a 4.50 ERA this season. He was named SEC pitcher of the on March 18 and National Pitcher of the Week by NCBWA. Neely will replace Cade Fisher who had started previously this season on Fridays.
The rest of the weekend rotation remains the same with Liam Peterson starting Saturday and Jac Caglianone starting Sunday.
Fisher will likely resume his relief position from last year where he excelled. He has a 2-2 record this season and an 8.13 ERA.
With the Gators moving Neely from the closer position, there will be big shoes to fill in that role.
Game one against Mississippi State will be 6:30 p.m. at home.
