Florida baseball and softball are again hosting this weekend - and once again, the baseball Gators are playing in a top-ten series. The track and field team will also be taking part in the Pepsi Florida Relays, located in Gainesville. Both men’s and women’s tennis teams are also in action, as are the lacrosse and volleyball teams.
Below you’ll find what is happening in Gator sports this weekend, as well as how to follow along.
Friday, March 30
