Florida coach Tim Walton, center, and Auburn shortstop Haley Fagan (2) talk to each other after they exchange slight shoves in the handshake line March 27, 2017.

Auburn avoided a sweep at No. 2 Florida with a strong 1-0 victory against the Gators Monday night in Gainesville.

After the game, a strange exchange occurred between Florida coach Tim Walton and Auburn short stop Haley Fagan. It all started when Walton knocked Fagan in the right shoulder when Fagan walked by without her hand up for a high-five as was custom in the post-game handshake line between the two teams. This prompted Fagan to push Walton in the back, which resulted in a verbal exchange and some jawing between the two.

"I didn't hit you," Walton can be seen mouthing after Fagan pushes him from behind.

The Fagan family and Walton have a history. Two of Fagan's sisters, Kasey and Sami Fagan, were dismissed from the Florida program before the 2012 NCAA Tournament because of an altercation, though details were not clear at the time, according to Alligator Army.

AuburnUndercover has reached out to Auburn and Florida officials for comment on the exchange Monday night in Gainesville.

Florida won the three-game SEC series 2-1.

Fagan's boyfriend, Auburn receiver John Franklin III, reacted to the exchange via Twitter.
