With a series win against the Arkansas Razorbacks behind them, the Florida Gators have the midweek off as it heads up to Columbia for a weekend matchup against the South Carolina Gamecocks. The win over the Hogs helped Florida stay on the right side of the tournament bubble this week. But anything less than a…

For the first time in nearly a month, if not more, fans at Condron Family Ballpark — and the players in the home dugout — showed signs of life. The cause? complete team performance against the toughest opponent left on the Florida Gators schedule. The result? A serious turning point for a playoff-desperate team that’s…

Florida baseball is on the precipice of something that’s never happened under the direction of coach Kevin O’Sullivan. Sitting at 20-14 with a 1-11 conference record, and being swept for a consecutive home conference series for the first time since 2004 — and the first time being swept at home by Vanderbilt period — UF…

Florida is 1-11 in the SEC, has been swept in two consecutive home conference series and have a long road ahead to turn the 2025 season into a positive. The Gators lost 11-3 to No. 23 Vanderbilt to go 0-3 on the weekend. It’s the first time the Commodores have ever swept Florida at home.…

After Florida baseball threw away game one of its doubleheader against No. 15 Ole Miss last night, just like it had against Florida State in the midweek, few would’ve expected the Gators to collect their first conference win of the year before the weekend’s end. But with an 11-8 comeback victory in the series finale,…

After being bounced from the D1Baseball Top 25 and extending its losing streak to four games with a 8-4 collapse against Florida State, it’s hard to say what momentum Florida has headed into an SEC matchup with No. 15 Ole Miss. Gators coach Kevin O’Sullivan was understandably disappointed by the loss Tuesday but said the…

Florida baseball is in a bad way. An 0-6 start in the Southeastern Conference is its worst since 2001 and the worst of head coach Kevin O’Sullivan’s tenure at UF since 2008. Yes, the Gators are hurt. Yes, the bats are the coldest they’ve been all year. But the real problem is — outside of…

When Florida Gators head coach Kevin O’Sullivan came into the conference room after the first two losses of this weekend’s series against Georgia, there was a sense of anger and frustration in his voice. But after a Sunday loss which counts for a historically bad conference start, O’Sullivan was simply dejected. “I can’t recall a…
