This weekend’s series against No. 5 Arkansas was incredibly important for Florida’s chances at advancing to the post-season. Despite a rocky start, the Gators proved resilient and claimed a 9-5 win to clinch the series victory. Florida starting pitcher Billy Barlow struggled with location and only lasted 1.1 innings. He allowed four earned runs and…

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…

The Florida Gators traveled to Starkville, to take on Mississippi State in a three game conference series over the weekend. Florida took games one and two to claim the series before dropping the finale Sunday. The Gators are now 27-15 overall and 6-12 in SEC play. The Bulldogs are tied in the SEC standings with…

Florida baseball is on the precipice of something that’s never happened under the direction of coach Kevin O’Sullivan.

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.…

If tonight’s Florida baseball game felt a lot like last year, you’re not alone. All last season, the Gators pitching staff struggled with bonus at-bats thanks to two-out walks. Friday night, UF walked 10 batters, gave up five runs in two-out situations and fell to Vanderbilt, with a miraculous postseason run like 2024’s seeming increasingly…

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…
