The last two weeks have been horrendous for the Gators. They’ve lost five SEC games in a row, plummeted out of the rankings and seen their team earned run average soar as their pitchers struggled to throw strikes.
They’ve got an absolute gauntlet of games coming up, with back-to-back-to-back series against Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Tennessee teams that are all ranked inside the top-16 in D1Baseball’s poll. Also mixed in there is their second meeting with Florida State, this time in Tallahassee.
So, the Gators absolutely needed a feel-good game like the one that they had against an overmatched Florida A&M team on Tuesday night at Florida Ballpark.
