GAINESVILLE — The Florida Gators’ baseball season did not just come to an unceremonious conclusion against South Alabama, it collapsed in a heap of humiliation, frustration and bewilderment.
Everything unraveled Saturday at Florida Ballpark, including coach Kevin O’Sullivan, during a historic 19-1 loss to the Jaguars.
Florida entered Day 2 of the NCAA Tournament in a must-win situation following a stunning 5-3 loss Friday to USF during the double-elimination Gainesville Regional. But the Gators did not even put up a fight against South Alabama, suffering the program’s most one-sided defeat during postseason play.
“Not what we expected,” sophomore outfielder Jacob Young.
