MOC WATCH

AIDAN KELLEY

Kelley anchored the Florida Southern defense with a stellar ending to the Friday night upset over No. 1 Tampa. Kelley entered with a 2-1 FSC lead and bases loaded for the Spartans in the bottom of the eighth. The senior righty secured back-to-back outs to complete the eighth inning with no hits and no runs, leaving all three UTampa players on base. In the bottom of the ninth with a 3-1 lead, Kelley struck out the side to secure his second save of the season and hand Tampa its first conference loss of the season. Earlier in the week, Kelley was called in the bottom of the ninth against Valdosta State, sealing an 11-7 win for the Mocs after striking out two and allowing no runs on just two hits.
