Andrews has made her allegiance to the Gators well known throughout the years since graduating in 2000, tweeting away and professing her loyalty to her alma mater.
The Gators, with a 50-17 record, are the No. 3 seed in the College World Series and will be facing No. 4 seed Texas on Saturday.
Florida hit a season-high five home runs on Sunday and roared back after a ninth-inning heartbreaker to the Bulldogs the game before.
The team is one win away from tying the school record for victories set in 1991.
Preston Tucker, who had gone hitless in eight at-bats in the series, was one of the heroes for the Gators, homering off Texas' ace reliever Caleb Reed and becoming one of three Gators ever to collect 200 RBI.
One thing's for sure: As the Gators continue their impressive season, Andrews will be watching all the while.
