The Florida Gators (47-16) made it a clean sweep in the Gainesville Regional with a 2-1 win over FAU (42-19) on Sunday afternoon to advance to a Super Regional for the first time since 2012.
Gainesville Regional MVP JJ Schwarz was responsible for both of the Florida Gators runs. Josh Tobias scored when Schwarz reached on a fielding error in the fourth inning and Schwarz singled home Richie Martin in the sixth inning.
“To beat a team of Florida’s caliber, you have to play flawless,” FAU manager John McCormack said.
Florida starter Alex Faedo struggled in the first inning.
