I’ve never played anyone ranked “there” nor do I have time. Respect me and my privacy as I’m trying to have a baby. Good day sir” Florida takes Game 1 in a CWS, beating LSU 4-3.Game 2 in the best of 3 series is tonight with first pitch scheduled for 7:00 pm.

Game 2 in this 4 game series at Cleveland is tonight with first pitch at 6:10 pm
