Florida baseball hits the road to face the Kentucky Wildcats this weekend on Friday, May 19, at Kentucky Proud Park in Lexington, Kentucky, for the second game of the final series of the 2023 regular season, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Gators got off to a strong start in non-conference play before earning a series win over the Alabama Crimson Tide at home to open SEC competition. Florida then took a single midweek game from the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee before sweeping a doubleheader over the Ole Miss Rebels on the road, following that up with two out of three at home from the Auburn Tigers.
Florida prevailed over the visiting Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at home before taking two of three on the road against the Tennessee Volunteers. Then on Tuesday, the Gators prevailed over the Seminoles again before dropping the opener to the Georgia Bulldogs on Friday. They bounced back on Saturday, before clinching the series on Sunday. The Orange and Blue then mercy-ruled the Florida A&M Rattlers.
The Gators were then swept on the road by the South Carolina Gamecocks for their first series loss of the season buts bounced back with a win over the North Florida Ospreys during the week before sweeping the Missouri Tigers last weekend. Speaking of sweeps, UF took all three games from FSU this season on Tuesday night with a win as well.
The Orange and Blue took the opener of the series at the Texas A&M Aggies before the home team bounced back to earn the series win with two-straight victories two weekends ago. Florida swept then the Vanderbilt Commodores last weekend to ascend to its highest ranking of the season in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll before taking the opener of the series on Thursday vs. Kentucky.
