OCALA, Fla. -  No. 4 College of Central Florida (41-4, 14-3 MFC) was able to come away with two wins on Friday over No. 3 Santa Fe Baseball (35-6, 11-6 MFC), 13-12 in the opener and 12-4 in Game 2.

GAME 1 - CF 13, SF 12

GAME-CHANGING PLAYS

The game was a resumption of a previously suspended game on Mar. 25, with SF leading 8-6 after four innings.

CF would rally with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, however, drawing to within a single run, 12-11, headed into the ninth.

The same thing happened in the ninth, and for the second-consecutive matchup with the Patriots down to their final out, CF came up with what was needed to escape with a win.

An RBI single from Toribio tied the game, then Ector had the walkoff single on a full-count pitch.
