Social Slant: Twitter reacts to the Florida Gators’ College World Series win over Virginia

First, Ty Evans homered for the Florida Gators. Then, it was Wyatt Langford’s turn. Soon after, Luke Heyman hit a sacrifice fly to deep center with the bases loaded.

Just like that, a 5-3 hole entering the bottom of the ninth ended in a stunning 6-5 Gators win over Virginia.

And it came on the biggest stage in all of college baseball.

Welcome to Day 1 of the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., where Florida rallied to produce one of the most thrilling baseball wins in school history.

The Gators (51-15 overall) are 1-0 in Omaha and will next play Oral Roberts in the winners bracket.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to this epic Florida Gators rally ….

My conclusion from Omaha today: Don’t look away from your tv literally at all if you don’t want to miss anything.

That was a helluva last at-bat by @GatorsBB.A pair of solo HR, sharp single and a deep sac fly — all hard-hit balls — to pull out a 6-5 win against Virginia in CWS opener with three runs in bottom of 9th.
