After winning a marathon 11-inning game to open the Super Regional against Wake Forest, Florida will have to wait until at least Monday to punch their ticket to the College World Series in Omaha after game two was suspended due to rain and lightning with Wake Forest leading 5-4 in the fifth inning.
The Demon Deacons, who lead the nation in home runs, used two long balls, one by Gavin Sheets, his 21st of the year, to take an early 4-0 lead. Florida battled back behind a 2-run homer by Deacon Liput. With the game tied, Wake Forest's Johnny Aiello solo shot, the third of the game for the Deacons, gave Wake the 5-4 lead. Then the rains came.
The game is scheduled to be resumed at 1 p.m. Monday in Gainesville.
