The Florida Gators (34-28) will take on Texas A&M, the third-seeded team in the nation, in the CWS, on June 15, 2024, at 7:00 pm ET.
With two wins in their Super Regional versus Oregon, including a 15-9 triumph over the Ducks on Sunday night, the Aggies guaranteed themselves a position in the CWS.
In SEC play earlier in the season, Florida met Texas A&M, winning two of the three games from March 15–17 at Condron Family Ballpark in Gainesville. The Gators won 4-2 on Sunday after losing 10-6 on Saturday and winning 8-6 on Friday.
Despite losing one of its best players, outfielder Braden Montgomery, to a lower leg injury sustained on a dive into home plate on Saturday against Oregon, Texas A&M advanced to the CWS. With a career-high 27 home runs, Montgomery was slashing.322/.730/.455 prior to the injury.
In school history, the Gators have participated in 14 CWS tournaments, and this is their ninth appearance under head coach Kevin O'Sullivan. They won the NCAA Clemson Super Regional in two games, advancing with an 11-10 victory over Clemson in 13 innings. Florida had a mixed regular season, but they have won five straight NCAA Tournament games.
