ATHENS, Ga. — The 2021 NCAA Gainesville Super Regional featuring the University of Georgia and nationally-seeded No. 4 Florida, has been set.
First pitch of the best-of-three Super Regional is slated for Friday, May 28 at 5 p.m., ET, at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium and will air on ESPNU. Game two is set for noon on Saturday on ESPN. Sunday’s if necessary game is slated for noon and will also air on ESPN.
Georgia and Florida met in Athens in the regular season. The Bulldogs won the series opener 4-2 behind a one-hitter by graduate Mary Wilson Avant. Then-No. 5 Florida bounced back to win the next two games to capture the regular-season series.
The Bulldogs and Gators have met three total times in the postseason. In 2016, then-No.16 Georgia traveled to Gainesville for a matchup with top-seeded Florida in the Super Regional round. Georgia stunned the Gators, first shutting them out in game one then walking it off with a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh of game two off the bat of senior Kaylee Puailoa.
Georgia and Florida matched up in Oklahoma City in 2018. Florida was victorious in the opening-round game. Georgia leads the postseason series 2-1.
The Bulldogs enter the weekend 32-21. Georgia swept the Athens Regional, beating Western Kentucky and nationally-seeded Duke to punch its ticket to this weekend’s Super Regional.
