It had been a rough nine days for the Gators’ offense. They managed just one run in the finale of the Georgia series. They followed that up by striking out 44 times in three games at Arkansas. In their opening round defeat of Kentucky in the SEC Tournament on Tuesday, they mustered just five hits.
To say that they broke out of their collective slump against Mississippi State on Wednesday would be a ginormous understatement. They beat the tar out of the third-seeded Bulldogs.
Sixth-seeded Florida racked up 18 hits and produced a five-run inning and a four-run inning.
