GAINESVILLE, Fla. (February 12, 2015) – Playing its first true road games of the season on Thursday, NJCAA No. 9/FCSAA No. 3 Tallahassee Community College swept a doubleheader from Santa Fe College, winning by the scores of 2-1, in eight innings, and 4-0.
Game two was called after six innings due to darkness.
