The already depleted Gators pitching staff suffered another blow on Monday.
Redshirt freshman outfielder Cory Reid will transfer from Florida, a UF spokesman confirmed Wednesday.

Last season, Jonathon Crawford made his NCAA Tournament debut in historic fashion.

After taking the series opener on Thursday, Florida (29-26, 14-15 Southeastern Conference) lost 3-1 to Georgia (20-32, 6-20 SEC) to even the series on Friday.
