After being handed a series win against Auburn over the weekend, the Florida Gators could use a bit of a reset before traveling to Knoxville to face No. 11 Tennessee.
With all due respect to Bethune-Cookman’s baseball program, the Wildcats have managed to upset the Gators just once since 1989. The two teams did play a tight game in March of last year, but UF took care of business in May with a 7-0 victory.
This year’s club at Florida might be even better than last year’s, so it’s fair to say that this is a tune-up game of sorts for the boys in Orange and Blue. [autotag]Jac Caglianone[/autotag], [autotag]Josh Rivera[/autotag] and [autotag]Wyatt Langford[/autotag] are all hitting .392 or better and have combined for 37 home runs and 104 RBIs.
The middle of the order is lethal, but it wouldn’t be strange to see any of these guys get a night off. In fact, this might be one of the last opportunities for Florida to start some of its backup and reserve guys.
Here is everything you need to know about the game tonight.
