Omaha, Neb. ? When a fan interfered on a foul ball and the call went against Florida, the Gators were steamed.

They responded with a display of power Thursday night, hitting three homers and winning their way into the championship round of the College World Series.

Brian Leclerc, Adam Davis and Matt LaPorta homered as Florida rallied from an early 3-0 deficit and beat Arizona State 6-3, ending the Sun Devils’ dazzling run.

“We were all pretty upset. We decided in the dugout to use it as a bit of fuel. That’s what we did,” Davis said of the fourth-inning call.

Florida (48-21) moves to the best-of-three final round beginning Saturday against Texas. The Gators will be seeking their first CWS title in their fifth appearance.

With the Gators down three, umpire Bill Davis called Florida’s Brandon McArthur out after a fan reached for the foul ball near the screen and prevented Sun Devils catcher Tuffy Gosewisch from catching it.

The umpire’s ruling prompted a heated argument from Florida coach Pat McMahon. The umpires conferred, but the call stood.

Florida's Adam Davis celebrates with Jeff Corsaletti (7) after Davis hit a three-run home run against Arizona State. The Gators beat the Sun Devils, 6-3, Thursday in Omaha, Neb., to advance to the championship round of the College World Series.

Leclerc, the next hitter, drove out a two-run homer off ASU starter Jason Urquidez to cut the Sun Devils’ lead to 3-2.

“I just took a step back and looked at Coach Mac, and he was pretty upset. I wanted to put a smile on his face,” Leclerc said.

“Obviously, I disagreed with the umpire. He put himself in a tremendous position to make the call, and he felt it was the proper call,” McMahon said.

“Our guys have to focus through things in the game, and they did that. Leclerc got us going, and we needed that. “That became a spark for us, and a lot of guys added to that.”

Gosewisch said the call was correct.

“I had the ball right above my glove,” he said.

“I don’t know if it lit a fire under them. Getting behind that next batter and having him hit a home run lit more of a fire than that call did.”
