A standing ovation greeted Gator Great Brad Wilkerson when he was honored before Friday’s 3-2 win against Georgia in McKethan Stadium in 16 innings. The tribute was because Wilkerson will be inducted June 29 into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in Lubbock, Texas.

Highlights from his playing days — such as his game-winning grand slam to beat Florida State in the 1996 College World Series — played on the scoreboard screen as he watched from behind home plate.
