History is made: Florida Gators baseball wins its first national championship
The third time was indeed a charm for Florida Gators baseball, which clinched the 2017 College World Series Championship Series on Tuesday night with a 6-1 win over the LSU Tigers to bring home the first national championship in program history.
The victory makes the Gators just the seventh athletic program in NCAA history to win national championships in the three major men’s sports. Florida joins California, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Stanford and UCLA with that accolade, though UF is just the fourth to do so in the AP Top 25 era and first in SEC history. The Gators also captured titles in all three sports in the last 10 years, making them the only team to do so in the last 50.
For UF, the championship comes in the 103rd year of the baseball program’s existence and the 10th since O’Sullivan has taken over the team. It also comes during a season in which it appeared the Gators were not built to actually go all the way for the first time in years.
