For the ninth time in school history and the fourth time under head coach Kevin O’Sullivan the Florida Gators have punched a ticket to Omaha and the College World Series.
The postseason began with a misstep as a ninth inning home run by Arkansas landed the Gators in the loser’s bracket of the SEC Tournament. Facing elimination Florida reeled off wins against Auburn, Arkansas, LSU and Vanderbilt to win the SEC Tournament and earn the No. 4 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Riding the momentum of winning four consecutive elimination games, the Gators swept the Gainesville Regional beating FAMU, USF and FAU to earn a trip to the Super Regional where they hosted FSU.
