The final day of May is upon us and both the UF baseball team and softball team are still alive in the postseason.
The softball team has arrived in Oklahoma City for the Women's College World Series and the baseball team opens its quest to reach the CWS in Omaha next month by hosting a regional event this weekend.
Here are a few GatorLinks covering UF sports on this Tuesday:
