Here is the link for the schedule for all the games in the invitational. Gators play tonight at 6 pm against Boston College. Does not look to be televised tonight. We can keep all PBP and discussions here. Thanks to all that have contributed to the PBPs. 2025 Bubly Invitational - Florida Gators Looking forward to seeing our 8-0 Gators play. Go Gators!
Yep - BC played at a tournament at Florida Gulf Coast last weekend. They also beat FGCU 2-1, Long Island 2-0 and Indiana State 8-2. They only hit .252 last weekend with 1 HR, 8 walks and 18 strikeouts. Team ERA is 2.12 and their main pitcher, Kelly Colleran, threw 17.2 innings in those 5 games with a 1.58 ERA. They're an ACC team, but more of a middle of the pack team, wheras Duke is coming off their first World Series ever, with much of their team back. They will be the first real test for the Gators.
Anyone think weather will affect any of the games this weekend? It looks the worst on Sunday, which will be our second game against Duke. Tennis already moved up their game a day, but nothing said from baseball/softball yet.
For those of us without an X account, please post any tweats about whether the game is cancelled/delayed. It's a monsoon right now.
That's first I heard -- thanks! Please post again if you hear anything new. On the one hand, it's a little brighter. OTOH, there's no reason to force this game in since the visiting team is already planning on staying overnight.
According to my radar forecast app the rains stop at 4 PM and Gainesville is clear for the next 4 hours. Fingers crossed.
I’m about two miles from the stadium. It’s rainy but not raining. No idea what the radar looks like though.
