Watch out college baseball world. The Florida Gators are finally starting to play like the unanimous preseason No. 1 team.
After an embarrassing and frustrating blowout loss at Florida State on Tuesday night, the No. 5 Gators bounced back in a big-time way, beating Texas A&M 8-4 on Saturday to finish off the series sweep to begin SEC play.
“It feels really good,” UF (16-5) coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “I’m really proud of the way the guys battled today and the way they bounced back from Tuesday night. That was obviously a really frustrating game all the way around, but it’s amazing when you’re coaching young people how quickly the script can get flipped, so to speak.
