The Florida Gators are gearing up for a crucial series against Mississippi State this weekend. With a five-game winning streak, the Gators are hoping to continue their success on the road, where they have struggled in conference play this season. However, they did sweep Mississippi State the last time they faced off at Dudy Noble Field in 2022.
Ranked 13th and 14th in the conference, both teams are fighting for their postseason lives. A series win this weekend would be a significant boost to their resumes. Coach Kevin O’Sullivan is optimistic about the team’s chances and believes they can turn things around.
The key for Florida will be taking their recent successes on offense, with players like Bobby Boser and Luke Heyman leading the charge, and translating that to road games. The Gators will face a tough Mississippi State pitching staff led by LHP Pico Kohn.
On the pitching side, the Gators have found their groove with an impressive 2.08 ERA in their last five games. They will rely on pitchers like Liam Peterson, Aidan King, and Jake Clemente to deliver quality starts and support the bullpen.
Mississippi State boasts a strong offense with players like Noah Sullivan and Ace Reece leading the charge. The Gators will need to be at their best to contain the Bulldogs’ lineup.
The series will kick off at Dudy Noble Field in Starkville, Miss., with the first pitch scheduled for 8 p.m. The game can be watched on the SEC Network or listened to live on ESPN 98.1FM/850AM WRUF + WJXL 1010AM.
