Heisman Trophy Pitcher??
Each year Florida Citrus Sports hosts a night at a University of Central Florida baseball game. And each year my baseball buddy, Suzanne, meets me there for a fun night of college ball. This year was, however, more interesting than most. This year Florida State University came to town ranked No. 2 in the country. AND traveling with them was Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. Yes, an award winning football player can throw a mean fastball, too!
We had the pleasure of sitting next to one of the UCF pitcher’s mother. Poor thing was a mess with nervous anxiety as she watched “her boys” leave a lot of runners on base. She told us that 6 of the last 7 games they had lost due to just that – they can get a ton of hits and get guys on base but they can’t close the deal. It was a hit-fest with FSU having 12 hits and 11 runs beating the UCF nights with 15 hits and 10 runs. Very exciting NCAA baseball. Especially when Winston took the mound to close the inning and save the game. Boy, can he throw heat!!
THE MAN!
In to close the inning
Bringing the HEAT!
