It’s time to bring out the brooms as the No.7 Florida Gators completed the sweep against Charleston Southern, defeating the Bucs 8-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Jac Caglianone’s pitching debut carried Florida to victory in the series finale. The 6-5, 245 pounder finished with an official line of 6.2 innings, zero runs, two hits, one walk, one HBP, and nine strikeouts on 79 pitches.
