Stony Brook will be the only local team in action this weekend due to all the cancellations that this winter has brought.
They will begin a challenging three-game series against No. 2 ranked Florida in Gainesville, Fla. The Sea Wolves have never defeated a program ranked higher than No. 7 in their history–that came during the famous super regional upset against LSU.
Florida enters with a record of 7-1, having lost only to Miami. They will have sophomore Logan Shore on the hill. As a freshman, he was named SEC Freshman of the Year as well as freshman All-American.The Sea Wolves will certainly have their work cut out for them.
Stony Brook will counter with Tim Knesnik. He is 0-1, 4.00 ERA through two starts, but compiled a 2.39 ERA last year, making seven starts.
Keep an eye on Florida’s OF Buddy Reed, reigning SEC Co-Player of the Week, who is hitting .458 in his last five games with 3 three-hit games.
Also, UF can smack the long ball. They already have hit nine, to go along with two triples and a cumulative slugging percentage of .481. Harrison Badar leads the team with four longballs. DH JJ Schwarz has three homers and 12 RBI.
Tonight’s game will begin at 7:00 P.M, and live stats can be viewed here.
