Alex Cora had rare managerial power. Yet the Red Sox fired the untouchable in stunning fashion
In a shocking decision, the Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora after a disappointing season.

Texas A&M defeated #21 Florida 8-4 in Game 2 of their series, tying it up after a previous loss. The Aggies showcased strong performances, including four home runs and a solid pitching effort from Aiden Sims.
Texas A&M beat #21 Florida 8-4 in Game 2 of the Aggies' road series, forcing a rubber match in a high-stakes ranked matchup. After dropping Game 1 in a disappointing 9-2 loss, the Aggies bounced back confidently in this game. The Texas A&M bats were on fire today, with four different players each hitting a home run: Jorian Wilson, Gavin Grahovac, Bear Harrison, and Nico Partida. Wilson's dinger was particularly impressive, knocking the ball 445 feet with a 110 MPH exit velocity. Sophomore ace Aiden Sims continued his incredible hot streak, picking up 6 strikeouts in the first two innings. He held a very talented Florida team to just 4 hits and 2 runs over 5 innings. He was promoted from the Game 3 starter to the Game 2 starter a couple of weekends ago, and this decision has paid off in a massive way. Weston Moss will presumably start Game 3, which will be a pivotal moment for both him and the team. Moss has struggled this season, and against a strong opponent with the series on the line, he'll have the chance to start making up for his slow start.

Ags responded to even the series. They're now 7-1 in games following a loss.
Grahovac and Wilson both had three hits. They both had tape-measure home runs. Sims was solid, and Freshcorn needed 35 pitches to record his eighth save.
Rubber match tomorrow at 12 p.m. CT.

A throwing error by Boston Kellner extends the inning, and suddenly the Gators are right back in itārunners on first and second, the tying run at the plate. The Aggies turn to Clayton Freshcorn out of the bullpen.

Earley is firing his best bullet as RHP Clayton Freshcorn enters with two on and two outs. The inning should be over, but an E6 and an ensuing single bring the potential tying run to the plate.

Nice job to even the series in Gainesville. Big test for (I presume) Weston Moss tomorrow. Hope to see four good innings out of him and get a road SEC series victory.
