Highlights from Florida’s loss to Texas A&M in College World Series semis

Here’s a look at highlights from the final game of the 2024 season for the Florida baseball program.

Florida baseball’s postseason magic finally came to an end on Wednesday night when the Texas A&M Aggies turned the Gators’ carriage into a pumpkin with a 6-0 loss in the semifinals held in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Orange and Blue finished the regular season just a home over the .500 mark and entered the NCAA Tournament with a perfectly even record after a first-round loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the SEC Tournament.

From there, though, Kevin O’Sullivan’s squad assumed an entirely new identity. Unfortunately, there just was not enough in the tank to make it to the finals for the second straight year.

Below is a look at the highlights from the final game of the Florida Gators’ 2024 baseball campaign.

Highlights from Florida’s College World Series loss to Texas A&M

Take a look at highlights from Saturday’s late-night CWS action between Florida and Texas A&M.

The weather did not play fair on Saturday night, forcing the opening College World Series game between the Florida Gators and Texas A&M Aggies into the wee hours of the morning. After things finally dried up enough to play, TAMU prevailed over UF, 3-2.

[autotag]Jac Caglianone[/autotag] paced the Orange and Blue on offense, going 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a strikeout. After a weak start from [autotag]Liam Peterson[/autotag], who allowed three runs in 2 1/3 innings, the bullpen tandem of [autotag]Fisher Jameson[/autotag] and [autotag]Brandon Neely[/autotag] kept the Aggies off the board the remainder of the game.

Unfortunately, the offense simply did not have enough to overcome A&M.

Florida dropped into the losers’ bracket and will face North Carolina State Wolfpack in an elimination game on Monday at 2 p.m. ET.
