GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - A Buchholz junior has already mapped out his college future. This week, Blake Brewer announced he is committing to Gulf Coast State. Brewer has that clutch gene. For example, go back to Game 3 of the Class 6A regional baseball championship. His walk-off RBI double in the eighth inning led the Bobcats back to state for the second straight time. He is coming off a career year, hitting nearly 400, 38 runs batted in and four homers. And still has another year with Buchholz.

Leon Draisaitl is a dangerous man in OT. 4th time is the charm. Not since 1919 has anyone in Stanley Cup history come back from a 3-0 deficit in a game and rally to win it. Until the Oilers tonight. It's going 7 again. #StanleyCup https://t.co/RUauYpfDFG
SAM REINHART!!! 19.5 SECONDS LEFT. We are going to overtime for the third time in the #StanleyCup #TimeToHunt https://t.co/fSjXLuU72H
Four straight goals for the Oilers! A goalie change leads to the first lead for Edmonton. Go figure. #StanleyCup https://t.co/cuYsszcmcE
