How to Watch: Florida baseball at South Florida Bulls on Tuesday
Florida baseball gets its first taste of road action on Tuesday, Feb. 21, as the team heads down Interstate 75 to take on the South Florida Bulls at USF Baseball Stadium in Tampa, Florida, in the first of a home-and-home midweek series, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Gators swept the season-opening series at home against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, mercy-ruling its first two victories before putting up a solid Sunday effort to clinch the perfect start. USF, on the other hand, opened up with a win over Maryland at home but dropped the next two to lose the series.

Florida has dominated the all-time series dating back to 1969 when the Gators won the first meeting in Gainesville, 7-3. Since then the Orange and Blue have dominated in Gainesville but the Bulls have shown a great deal of tenacity on their own turf over that time as well. [autotag]Kevin O’Sullivan[/autotag]’s team has won five of the last six games against USF, with the lone loss during that stretch coming at home in 2021.
Prediction
While the Bulls have had some moderate success against the Gators in Tampa the season openers for both squads reveal a team that is already hitting on all cylinders against one that is still trying to find its footing. Sure, it is very early and the sample size is small, but this year’s Florida lineup looks like it can do some damage.
