The Gators' wild weekend required waiting it out — but an SEC title was their reward.
Florida's softball team won the national championship without winning the SEC crown in 2014.
This year, the Gators get to go for the sweep — thanks to some truly weird circumstances.
Florida clinched the SEC's regular season title on Sunday, but it could have done so on Saturday, after a 9-6 win at Missouri fueled by two home runs from Bailey Castro and another from Taylore Fuller. That game lifted the Gators to 18-4 in SEC play in 2015, and one full game ahead of Auburn (17-5 entering Saturday); had the Tigers lost at LSU on Saturday, Florida would have been assured of a better record even with a win in a Sunday finale at Missouri.
