That was impressive, South Carolina. Gamecocks swept Florida and did it without a weekend starting pitcher and three starting infielders. That's as good a weekend as anyone can claim all season.

Interesting that if LSU had held Paul Skenes to start tonight, he would have been done after 3 innings due to the weather delay just as Ty Floyd was. Instead, Skenes threw a CG leaving everyone else to pitch tonight/tomorrow. Funny how these things go

We expect Hagen Smith to be special, and he certainly was, but how can you not appreciate what Will McEntire does when he gets the chance? He retired eight batters, all by strikeout. The dude just goes out there and battles

T.J. McCants is shaping up as one hell of a comeback story this season for Alabama. The Ole Miss transfer just hit a grand slam, his third homer of the season. Meanwhile, in Oxford, the Rebs could use a homer or two down 4-0 at home to Arkansas State in the 4th.

Alabama center fielder T.J. McCants is 2-2 with a single, a double, two stolen bases and two runs scored. The Ole Miss transfer, who had a strong fall and preseason, is carrying that over to opening day. Bama up on Manhattan 4-0 in the 3rd

Not sure a team has ever had a week like the one Alabama baseball just had. You have to hand it to interim coach Jason Jackson and the players who sure finished it in style with a series victory over the nation's fifth ranked team.

For those wondering about Alabama's hosting chances ... in the past 10 seasons, the best RPI from an SEC team that did not host was 2018 Auburn at 14. It was 15-15 in SEC play. Alabama, at 16-14, sits at 10 after today's doubleheader sweep

Interesting that Miss State needed to sweep top ranked Florida to finish .500 in their league. About to go to CWS semifinals. Trend is to not include those with sub .500 conf records in the field. Maybe, just maybe, conf record should be a factor, but not an eliminating factor
