"It's definitely a group effort. I mean, everybody has kind of held their mud. But we knew there are a lot of guys who, you know, this could be their last season playing baseball. So, we're playing for each other and hoping to carry it as long as we can," Caglianone added.
The Gators made it to the College World Series finals last season but finished as runners-up after losing to the LSU Tigers. This time around, Caglianone and co. will aim to go one step further and win the national title.
