No. 3 Florida is riding a three-game win streak after taking two from Auburn and a midweek game against Bethune-Cookman. Now, the Gators face a major test on the road against the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers.
The Vols came into the Swamp and swept the Gators a season ago before infamously taking photos with some of the football team’s equipment while they showered in the locker room. Gator Nation didn’t care for those antics at all, but the best way to get UT back would be to sweep them in Knoxville this weekend.
That’s a tall order, but Florida’s lineup is loaded and among the best in the nation. [autotag]Wyatt Langford[/autotag], [autotag]Jac Caglianone[/autotag] and [autotag]Josh Rivera[/autotag] might be the most threatening 2-3-4 in all of college baseball, and the other six hitters in the lineup are all major threats to get on base as well.
On the mound, [autotag]Brandon Sproat[/autotag] and [autotag]Hurston Waldrep[/autotag] have each shown glimpses of excellence this season but they can’t seem ever to get it going on the same weekend. Caglianone has struggled with his fastball command in recent weeks, but he’s primed for a bounce-back outing.
Here’s a look at everything you’ll need to know about the Florida-Tennessee series this weekend.
