Shout out to our Baseball Team

The University of Florida baseball program boasted four first-team All-SEC selections for the first time since 1991!  Way to go Gators.  And now our beloved Gators are playing in the Men’s College World Series. The top-seeded Gator baseball team (47-18) will face eighth-seeded South Carolina (45-17) at 9 p.m. (ET) on Saturday. The game will be aired live on ESPN/ESPN3.

The University of Florida is 80-58 (.580) all-time in NCAA Tournament action and has reached the CWS seven times: 1988, 1991, 1996, 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2011. Last season, the Gators defeated Manhattan (17-3) and Miami (Fla.) twice (5-4 and 11-4) to sweep the Gainesville Regional before downing Mississippi State twice in three games to win the Gainesville Super Regional. UF claimed its bracket in Omaha to reach the CWS Championship Finals for the second time in school history and fell to South Carolina. This year we are looking to avenge the loss against the Gamecocks and go all the way!

Below is the schedule for the Games- We want everyone to have a chance to watch and support Florida's talented baseball team.
