The College World Series continues as SEC foes take the field in Omaha, Neb.
Florida, which is back in Omaha for a second consecutive year, punched its ticket with a thrilling sweep of Clemson at the Super Regionals. The Gators will go head-to-head with Texas A&M, which took care of business in the Super Regionals with a sweep of Oregon.
Saturday’s game comes exactly three months after Florida handed Texas A&M its first loss of the 2024 season. The Gators took two of three games off the Aggies in a three-game series held in Gainesville, Fla. from March 15 to 17.
Now, the two teams meet with much higher stakes as unseeded Florida (34-28) will look to make a statement against 4-seed Texas A&M (49-13).
