Three years prior to deciding what he was going to be when he grew up, Austin Armstrong was channeling his inner football coach.

The Florida Gators did a dandy impression of a team that would have rather been somewhere else instead of the ball yard. Instead of playing like the nation’s 6th-ranked team, the Gators sleepwalked their way to a 3-2 win over the lowly Siena Saints.

When the rain subsided and the tarp was rolled off the field, it was damp and chilly, which is how the Gators played for nine innings.
