Florida and LSU are on quite a roll heading into this week's Southeastern Conference baseball tournament.
The Gators are the tournament's top seed in Hoover, Alabama, after finishing with a 21-9 league record. They've won 14 of their past 16 games, including 11 of 12 against SEC teams. Florida's strength is its starting pitching: Alex Faedo, Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar have a combined 24-5 record on the mound.
That doesn't mean it has been easy for the Gators this season. They struggled with their hitting at times and were swept by Auburn in the opening weekend of conference play before winning 21 of 27 against league opponents.
