Friday marks the first full day from the Super Regional round at the 2025 NCAA Softball Championships with eight games to kick off the weekend.

Florida baseball remains in a fight to secure a top seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The No. 15 Florida Gators (38-19) knocked off South Carolina 11-3 on May 20 in Hoover, Ala., and will have a chance to further strengthen their resume when they face No. 20 Ole Miss on May 21 (9 p.m., SEC Network).

Entering the SEC Tournament, the Gators were considered strong contenders to host an NCAA Regional but had yet to clinch hosting duties. Tuesday's win over South Carolina added to Florida's resume, which included six-straight series wins to end the season, with two coming against top five opponents.

Walter Clayton Jr., who was named the 2025 NCAA tournament's Most Outstanding Player, is originally from Bartow.
