Florida baseball took the field in Omaha, Nebraska with their backs against the wall for the second time in the College World Series and fifth time this postseason; the result was no different.
The Gators routed Kentucky for nine innings, defeating the Wildcats 15-4 while improving to 5-0 in elimination games in 2024.
Florida blasted three home runs including two off the bat of Brody Donay and struck out 16 batters on the mound. The Gators out-hit Kentucky 14-5 in the contest.
“The whole goal is to play your best at the end of the year,” head coach Kevin O’Sullivan said postgame.
