Florida baseball takes tumble, barely remains in Coaches Poll top 25
Florida baseball was swept by the Alabama Crimson Tide last weekend, resulting in a precipitous fall in USA TODAY Sports' Coaches Poll.
Florida baseball ran into a brick wall this weekend in Tuscaloosa, getting swept in three games by the Alabama Crimson Tide in a series that opened up with the first no-hitter against the Gators since 1963 and ended in an offensive explosion. It took 11 innings before Kevin O'Sullivan's squad earned their first hit (and run) of the weekend, and they would go on to get outscored 28-11 by the time the final out was recorded on Sunday. Florida got lackluster performances both at the plate and on the mound, and it resulted in the team's second series loss of the season.
