Baseball Around the SEC - Week 14 (Final) (5/16 - 5/18/24)

#9 and 5:30 Tuesday.
Hope to see Clemente on the hill.

 

McDonnell has teased a lot of programs. If he was serious around leaving they would have gotten him. Kingston had good pedigree. I know enough about that situation up there to be confident in this.

 

Went to delay in 9th, right after Bama hit 3 run HR to go up 12-5 . They resumed at midnight ET(no video anywhere) I think softball was entering 7th of 12 innings at time..lol (SB ended at 3 am)

Oh Bama won btw..lol All these well under 500 SEC teams reached their minimum win mark. So now SEc will get 11.. 5 host & 6 bubble teams...lol

Pretty sure Butch did Bama a solid... tie game in 4th or 5th,, Bama has bases loaded. AU gos to a P with 6 innings all year.. It went how you would guess.

 

So SEC has 5 teams at 13 conf wins. History says 40% get in w/ 13. So you would think not all 5 are getting in,, but I'll take wagers that they do.

Think it was Burke, so TFWIW, on Friday when all teams were still on 12, said that 'they' might have to change the parameters...lol Why?? There are plenty of teams in country w/ good, well over .500 conf records to choose from.

One of those is Texas, strange resume. 20-10 B12, 28 SOS, 12 Q 1 wins,, but 8!!! Q4 losses. All equals a RPI of 40 ..just above AU..lol Obviously I think they are in, but are they??

 

Co-Player of the Week
Luke Heyman • Florida

Florida’s Luke Heyman launched three home runs and drove in 10 to lift Florida to a series win at No. 5 Georgia. He racked up 15 total bases and also swatted a double in addition to his three big flies. Heyman homered twice in game one vs. Georgia and once in game two. He drove in four runs in the series-clinching victory highlighted by a three-run double in a 12-run fourth inning.


Freshman of the Week

Florida’s Liam Peterson pitched 5 1/3 innings with three earned runs allowed as the Gators evened the series vs. No. 5 Georgia in game two on Friday. Peterson allowed just five hits and two walks. He struck out four batters and limited the Bulldogs to a .250 batting average.
