Gators clinch SEC East after taming Wildcats in series opener

No.4 Florida wins the SEC East following a commanding 10-3 victory over the Wildcats in the series opener.

The Gators (41-12, 19-9 SEC) picked up their 41st win of the 2023 season on Thursday night, tying the 2018 campaign for the second-most regular-season wins in program history.

Florida got off to a quick start inside Kentucky Proud Park, scoring two runs just three batters into the game after back-to-back RBI base knocks from Wyatt Langford and Jac Caglianone.

Hurston Waldrep, who got the Thursday night start following his quick outing last weekend (weather delay), allowed a run in both the third and fourth inning, erasing Florida’s early 2-0 lead over the Wildcats.
