The No. 10 Gators just keep getting the job done.
On Tuesday, the Gators fell behind Stetson early, exploded in the middle innings and withstood a late rally to defeat the Hatters 9-6 at Florida Ballpark. Florida (31-13, 13-8 SEC) has now won 11 of its last 13 games to leap back into the hosting and national seed discussion as it pertains to the NCAA Tournament, which begins exactly one month from Tuesday night.
Catcher Nathan Hickey said the team is riding high after the big series win over No. 2 Vanderbilt last weekend.
“It gave us a lot of confidence,” he said.
