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.
