Gators fall to Gamecocks in finale, will get rematch in SEC Tourney

While the Gators secured the series victory over South Carolina by hammering the Gamecocks on Thursday and Friday, Saturday’s regular season finale was still an extremely important game for them.

A win would’ve given them a winning record in SEC play and would’ve possibly given them a shot at playing an NCAA Regional at home.

Unfortunately for UF, their offense chose a really bad time to fall asleep. South Carolina’s four pitchers combined to issue nine walks, but the Gators could only generate three hits in their 4-1 loss in a game that featured a two-hour-and-35-minute weather delay in the seventh inning.
