Florida vs. UGA Live Blog
Foley Field is the stage for one of the premier rivalries in the country as the #6 Georgia Bulldogs (33-12, 14-7) play host to the #17 Florida Gators (31-14, 13-8). Foley Field is jam packed to watch the first pitch at 7pm. This is a huge series as both teams jockey for position leading up to the SEC tournament in two weeks. Georgia leads Florida by 1 game in the Eastern division, with Vanderbilt 3.5 games backs. The Bulldogs are tied with LSU for 1st place in the entire SEC. Georgia is coming off a blowout home loss to Jacksonville St. on Wednesday night, 16-8. Last weekend, the Gators swept the Gamecocks in a 3-game series in Gainesville. This series is a homecoming for UF assistant coaches Brad Weitzel (Georgia ‘83) and Don Norris (Georgia ‘92). In just a few minutes, these teams will play each other for the 251st time. Per NCAA rules, we are only able to update the blog once per half inning. -Michael Terry (and Robert Inskip)
