Kentucky managed to avoid a sweep in Gainesville on Sunday, defeating Florida 8-1. Despite the win, the Wildcats yet again found themselves on the losing end of an SEC series, having lost six of seven this season.

Following the pair of wins over the Horned Frogs, UK has played 23 games against Power Five opponents, winning only seven of those contests. While the Wildcats have only been swept one time this year — in Fayetteville against Arkansas — they’ve only been able to nab one conference series win, taking two of three from Georgia at the end of March.
