SEC Baseball Tournament action began Tuesday morning! Let’s break down what’s happened thus far.
Florida 4, Kentucky 1
Florida shuffled past Kentucky in the SEC Tournament opener. The Gators won 4-1 over the Wildcats, struck early, and didn’t look back. Jacob Young launched a home run to left that got the party started. That was followed by an RBI single by Sterlin Thompson, which scored the Gator leader in hitting, Nathan Hickey (.307).
Kentucky plated a run in the top of the fifth, but the Gators tacked on two more in the bottom of the fifth. That would effectively be the end of the scoring, as neither team plated anything else the rest of the way. Tommy Mace pitched five innings, struck out eight batters, and allowed just one walk along with one run.
Alabama 9, South Carolina 3
Alabama romped South Carolina in the second game of the SEC Tournament. Alabama won 9-3 in the first-round matchup with the Gamecocks, sending the 7-seed home early. They doused six runs on them on the third inning, off a double, a single, and a three-run homer. They would later add two runs the next inning, and their final run came in the sixth.
Peyton Wilson went 3-for-5 out of the leadoff spot, with two doubles, two runs scored, and one RBI. Jackson Tate clobbered the aforementioned three-run homer, his lone hit of the afternoon.
Georgia 4, LSU 1
Georgia defeated LSU in Game 3 of the SEC Baseball Tournament. The Dawgs faced an early 1-0 deficit, this after a double play that led to an LSU run going on the board. Georgia took control in the bottom stanza, however. Riley King reached on a fielder’s choice, which scored Ben Anderson. Then, Chaney Rogers smoked a double that cleared the bases to prop them up 4-1. The score would remain the same the rest of the way, thanks in large because of Georgia’s pitching. The Dawgs recorded 12 total strikeouts to two walks, along with seven hits scattered about.
Ole Miss 7, Auburn 4
Ole Miss opened up shop with a 7-4 win on Tuesday night over Auburn. THe Rebels jumped out to a 5-1 lead within the first three innings of the game. Auburn would make it interesting, cutting the deficit to 5-4 in the second. But two runs from the Rebels extended the lead and Auburn couldn’t wrestle themselves closer after that.
Ryan Bliss’ homer led to Auburn going up 1-0 in the first, but the game would then be tied in the bottom stanza. Justin Bench reached on a throwing error, and that error allowed for TJ McCants to come around the score. Bench would homer in the third inning to give Ole Miss the lead, and it would be one they wouldn’t relinquish. Hayden Dunhurst hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 7th, an insurance blast that would in turn aid Ole Miss to victory.
Wednesday
Florida 13, Mississippi State 1
Florida began the day with a rFloun-rule romp of Mississippi State.
The Gators scored in each of the first three innings, with their run total swelling each time. They scored one run in the first, three in the second, and then put up a five-spot in the third. They would later cap the game off with a four-run seventh inning and shut State down in the bottom stanza for good.
The Gators did all this with only one home run. Sterlin Thompson hit a solo shot in the top of the third inning. Runs were otherwise scored on a wild pitch, sacrifice flies, three singles, and two doubles. Talk about some diversification.
Hunter Barco held it down on the mound. The Gator hurler tossed seven innings of four-hit ball, allowed just one run, and had two strikeouts with no walks.
