Florida Gators baseball star Jac Caglianone is preparing for the College World Series by taking batting practice at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. The Gators have a history of success at the CWS, making 14 trips to the event in school history. However, despite their experience, they have a losing record of 25-27 in CWS games.
The Gators are facing North Carolina State in an elimination game after losing their opener to Texas A&M. They need to win four games in a row to make it to the CWS Finals for the second straight year. The Wolfpack is coming off a tough 10-inning loss to Kentucky in their first game of the series and will be looking to bounce back against Florida and stay alive in the tournament.
Florida has made nine trips to the CWS under head coach Kevin O’Sullivan, but they need to turn things around if they want to continue their streak of consecutive appearances at the event. North Carolina State has never made it past the semifinals before, and this year they are determined not to go out without a fight.
The game between Florida and NC State will take place on Monday, June 17 at 2 p.m. ET. Fans can catch the action on their television screens, though the specific channel has not been specified yet. Both teams will be fighting for their lives, making it a must-watch matchup for baseball fans who are eagerly anticipating another exciting day of action at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha during the College World Series.
