RHP Tyler Dyson (1-0, 3.55 ERA) will face off against Seminoles RHP Andrew Karp (0-2, 4.84 ERA). Florida is coming off a series loss to Tennessee this weekend but looking to build off their win on Sunday. The Gators are looking for the regular season sweep over FSU tonight and they have already had more one-run games this season then all of last year combined. Head Coach Kevin O’Sullivan says the they are 6-6 in SEC play and four loses are by one run, there isn’t a whole lot of margin for error.
