When It Started:
Previously, the school record was held by Tim Olson in 200 where he logged 29 consecutive games with a hit. Olson went on to the MLB to play for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies. Now, 21 years later a new Gator kept it going. Olson reached out to Young following the game to send his congratulations.

His streak is also the fourth-longest multi-season hitting streak in SEC history,. He sits behind Vanderbilt’s Ryan Flaherty (36 games in 2006-07) and Warner Jones (32 games in 2003-04), and Mississippi State’s Rex Buckner (31 games in 1992-93). Olson reached out to Young following the game to send his congratulations.
