Gators capture SEC Title on the Road!
Posted by UFreak in 
The 39th and 40th victories of the season, and the ones that secured the SEC Title, came tUFf at USCe IN Prime Time and in front of 8,188 and 8,240 screamin’ Gamecock fans! That’s getting it done! The Pittsburgh Pirates count gate receipts like that as a good day!
UFlorida and USCe were all tied up heading into the Thursday-Saturday 3-game series,….UF sitting at #4 in the country, and USCe ranked #6….Aside from both being top tem teams, each was sitting at 20-7 in the SEC, with an SEC Championship and #1 Seed in the Tourney hangin’ in the balance.
Two games into the set though, and its ALL over. Florida took the first two games (3-2 and 5-2), and will enjoy the spoils: The SEC Title, #1 Seed in the SEC Tourney, and (almost assuredly) Host in the Super Regional and Regionals. USCe and Auburn will finish in the top 3, with few teams in the country playing a well as Auburn of late!
UKentucky, with a win yesterday would have hooked THEIR wagon (once again) into the Tourney but have been denied 2 straight times against Jawja!…..JAWJA!….who had just 3 SEC victories ALL year entering this series!!!, Yeah!,..THEY beat UK 8-6 on Thursday and 20-0 UFriday night!…This follows a weekend sweep by the ‘Kats over Reigning Champ LoSerU, that had them back in the hunt! That’s got to sting a little….Too bad John Wall can’t play baseball too?!?!
