Meanwhile, after soaring to 16 runs the game before, Central was a bit more limited in their game on Tuesday. They lost 8-0 to Nature Coast Tech. The loss was the Bears' first of the season.
Gulf suffered a grim 10-2 defeat to Central when the teams last played back in April of 2024. Can Gulf avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
