No. 1 Tennessee topped Florida 8-5 in Tennessee's first SEC Tournament title since 1995, also the year of what had been its most recent SEC regular-season title. But the Gators still have life in the NCAA regional. The field will be announced Monday.
Consecutive doubles by the Volunteers in the sixth inning brought three runs across the plate and put UF in a seven-run deficit. Despite recording hits in each of the first six innings, the Gators couldn’t manage any runs of their own until BT Riopelle’s two-run home run to left center field, Riopelle’s 15th home run of the season.
"Well, first of all, congratulate Tennessee. They've had a remarkable season. They're the No. 1 team in the country for a reason," UF coach Kevin O'Sullivan said."Obviously today was a tough one for us. I thought we battled the entire week. We were one hitter away from getting the tying run to the plate.
Finnvold may have been tagged with the loss, but he struck out six Volunteers to keep it anyone's game in the early going. It may not have been reflected in the scorebook, but Finnvold made his case for a heavier workload with Sunday's performance. Florida, with an RPI of 12 and a top-15 strength of schedule, now has 39 wins in 60 tries, which should result in UF being selected to host an NCAA Regional. The NCAA is expected to announce 16 host sites at 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN channel updates and NCAA Baseball's social media channels. The NCAA Division I Baseball championship selection show will air at noon Monday on ESPN2.
