PREGAME

— Florida (26-26; 11-17 SEC) is set to take on Georgia (39-12; 17-11) at 1 p.m. ET on Friday afternoon in Athens, Georgia. The game will be streamed on SECN+

— The Gators dropped their series opener 9-4 against the Bulldogs on Thursday night.

— This series marks the last of the regular-season as SEC teams will travel to Hoover, Alabama, for the SEC Tournament, which starts on Tuesday. The Gators need to win at least two of three games in Athens to have a chance at a spot in the NCAA Tournament. If they lose two or more, they would likely need to make a run to SEC semifinals in order to have a chance.

— The Gators have lost six consecutive SEC series, dating back to the final weekend of March when they bested Mississippi State in two of three contests in Gainesville.
