Florida Gators baseball star Jac Caglianone is preparing for batting practice at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha ahead of the College World Series. After losing their opener to Texas A&M, the Gators are facing a must-win game against North Carolina State.
Florida has not been eliminated after two games in the CWS since 2016. In order to advance to the CWS Finals for the second year in a row, they will need to win four consecutive games, starting with their matchup against NC State. The last team to lose the first game and go on to win the national championship was Oregon State in 2018.
NC State, coming off a 10-inning loss to Kentucky, will be looking to stay alive in the tournament. Florida has a history of success at the CWS, making 14 trips in school history and nine under head coach Kevin O’Sullivan. However, their all-time record at the CWS dropped to 25-27 after the loss to Texas A&M.
The game between Florida baseball and NC State is scheduled for Monday, June 17 at 2 p.m. ET. Fans can tune in to watch on a channel that will broadcast the game live.
