Every time it seems like we’re getting a clear picture of the balance of power in the SEC, another wild weekend in league play shakes up what we thought we knew about this conference.
This past weekend was no different. LSU pulled off its second-straight series sweep in a high-powered matchup against Alabama that featured 58 combined runs throughout the weekend.
Not all of the top teams in the league were so lucky, though. South Carolina suffered a stunning series loss to Auburn after sweeping Florida last weekend. The Gators, meanwhile, bounced back with a sweep of their own against Missouri.
Vanderbilt retook first place in the SEC East with an impressive sweep over a Kentucky team that ranked No. 12. At the bottom of the conference, defending national champion Ole Miss finally won an SEC series by upsetting a hot Georgia team.
With seven series down in league play and three to go, here’s how things stand as the race for the regular season SEC crown heats up.
