On the Mound:
Taking the mound for the Gators on Tuesday will be right-handed pitcher Garrett Milchin. Milchin’s journey with the Gators has been anything but easy. His last appearance came in Omaha in 2017 where he pulled himself off the mound following an injury. He had suffered a UCL tear and underwent Tommy John surgery before suffering the same injury again in 2019. Being just one of two players present on the 2017 championship team, Milchin has had his taste of success. But, an even heavier dose of adversity. Tuesday will mark a milestone in his journey back to the mound and the start of a new page in his career. He is most admired by his teammates and staff for his attitude and leadership. It will be an inspirational moment and a testament to overcoming adversity as the righty takes the mound.
