Florida helped its case in a big way down the stretch of the regular season. The Gators won each of their last six conference weekend series, going 14-4 during that stretch. Over the last two weeks, they took two of three from nationally-ranked Alabama and then-national No. 1 Texas, with that Texas series being played in Austin.

Part of that stretch also included a three-game sweep of South Carolina in Columbia. Florida’s offense was rolling that weekend scoring 39 total runs including a 22-run performance in the middle game of the series on Saturday.

The Gators also swept Missouri during that stretch. They took two of three from No. 5 Arkansas at home, and swept Mississippi State on the road as well.

Now the Gators are back in the tournament after getting knocked out in the first round last year. They were a nine seed, and lost to eight seed Vanderbilt.

South Carolina was a 10 seed last year, and was one of the double-digit seeds to make a late run. That included upset wins over second-seed Arkansas and third-seed Kentucky, before losing to 11th-seed LSU in the semifinals.
