Comment on Ejection sparks UCF rally but Knights fall short in series finale vs. Texas

Rich Wallace wondered how his UCF baseball team would struggle to bounce back following an emotional 5-4 win over No. 18 Texas Saturday night. UCF jumped to a 4-0 lead before hanging on for the win. In the top of the 9th inning, the Knights needed a pair of strikeouts to secure the victory. On Sunday, the Knights were listless for the first four innings, failing to register a hit as the Longhorns jumped out to what seemed an insurmountable 5-run edge. But Wallace’s well-timed ejection — his first of the season — fired up his team and the fans as UCF rallied to tie the game at 5 before eventually falling 10-7. “I don’t know how much I had to do with it,” Wallace said after the game.
