Just like the Florida Gators baseball team’s trek through its 2017 SEC schedule, the high-stakes game with Kentucky on Saturday began on a down note.
And much like the Gators have done in the last two months, they responded to adversity, and secured the loftiest perch in the conference.
The Gators rallied from a 2-0 deficit and a scary-looking moment for Dalton Guthrie to fell the Wildcats in the rubber game of their final SEC series on Saturday, taking a 6-4 victory that ensures them no less than a share of an SEC championship.
Florida will take that share by virtue of improving to 21-9 in SEC play, a mark no team other than LSU can match.
