Florida is coming off an SEC Tournament win over Auburn, moving the Gators on to face either South Carolina or Vanderbilt on Thursday.

The bats have come alive for the Gators. The team racked up double-digit hits in each of the past four games – all against Auburn – after staggering through SEC play with a .257 team batting average with only three regular starters hitting better than .300.

Enormous pressure as the nation’s preseason favorite might have gotten to the team in conference play, as Florida fell just one win shy of an SEC regular season title.

But will the pressure of those expectations fade and make way for a determined team with its eyes on the ultimate prize now that the postseason has arrived?
