The No. 9 Florida Gators (33-15, 15-9 SEC) host the Georgia Bulldogs (28-18, 11-13 SEC) this weekend in the penultimate regular-season series for both teams as summer quickly approaches. For UF, the three-game tilt represents a chance to pad its win column with the SEC Tournament on the horizon, while UGA looks to play spoiler for its most fierce rivals.
It has not been the greatest season for the Dawgs out on the diamond, posting a losing record in conference play — albeit it, in the best baseball conference in the country. They come into the series having lost two of three against the top-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks last weekend and winning just four of their last 10 games. Despite stealing one from the Hogs, there just have not been many signature victories for Georgia this season.
Historically, Florida has a firm grasp on the all-time series notching a 189-110-2 record since the schools first met in 1931. Georgia won seven of the first 10 games against the Gators and ran off its best run of nine-straight from 1939 to 1946 before the Orange and Blue took over. UF’s best streak of 12 games occurred between 1990 and 1993, and recently won seven straight from 2016 to 2018. However, UGA has won the last four meetings dating back to 2018.
