Florida (28-26, 13-17 SEC) is coming off a series win at No. 9-ranked Georgia in Athens on Saturday.
Vanderbilt (35-20, 13-17) enters the tournament after losing the final series of the regular season at Kentucky.
The Gators lost the season series to the Commodores (L 10-5, L 5-2, W 6-2) in Nashville, Tenn., April 18-20.
In need of at least two wins in the final series, the Gators won twice to assure a winning overall record for the season. Their No. 1 strength of schedule ranking and No. 23 RPI (D1Baseball) make the Gators a strong candidate to receive an at-large invite to the NCAA Tournament. Winning the league tournament comes with an automatic bid to the NCAAs.
