The Florida Gators baseball team is set to meet Troy University in the championship game of the Gainesville Regional on Monday, June 1. The victor will secure a berth in the Super Regionals and earn the right to host Little Rock in the next round.
Florida arrives with a 41‑20 record after dispatching Rider and Miami in earlier matchups, a run that has extended the program’s streak under head coach Kevin O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan has now guided the Gators to ten Super Regional appearances, and another win would bring the total to eleven.
Troy, meanwhile, rallied from a loss to Miami in the regional opener to win three straight games, culminating in a 16‑11 nightcap that featured five home runs. The performance has put the Trojans in position to make their first ever Super Regional appearance.
What’s at stake
A win for the Gators would mark the eleventh Super Regional trip for the program under O’Sullivan, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most consistent coaches in recent college baseball history. Conversely, a triumph for Troy would be a historic breakthrough for a program that has never advanced this far.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the SEC Network, with streaming options available through Fubo, which is offering a free trial for new subscribers.
