(SB) GAME THREAD - REGIONAL FINALS: Florida vs. South Alabama - Sunday 4 PM - ESPN+

I'm getting this thread up so people can start making comments about the Regional Finals. The Gators are now 48-12 and are awaiting whoever comes out of the Loser's bracket, who would have to beat Florida twice to advance. Florida Atlantic is beating Florida Gulf Coast 1-0 in the top of the 5th as of 7:50 pm. The loser goes home, the winner plays South Alabama in an elimination game later tonight, weather permitting.
Once the opponent, game time and TV coverage are known, I'll update. GOO Gators!!!

 

Yeah, that's why I didn't put the time up there yet. Also looks like we get the ESPN+ treatment again.
Florida Gulf Coast is ahead of FAU 3-1 going to the bottom of the 7th. Weather forecast for Gainesville has changed some and it looks like they can play the 2nd game tonight and the rain doesn't look as bad for tomorrow as it did several hours ago.

 

FGCU beat FAU 3-2. Will play South Alabama about 9:45, winner to face Florida tomorrow.

Pretty sure it had to do with the weather forecast. Last night it was showing rain in Gainesville unhtil about 2 pm. Now, however, it's perfectly sunny with no rain expected until about 7 pm. Doesn't matter. Our girls are on a mission and like Jefferson Starship sang, "Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now."
