The regular season in the SEC is complete, which means that it is now time to shift focus to Hoover, Alabama for one of the sports’ top postseason tournaments, the SEC Baseball Tournament.
The annual tournament gets underway on Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. CT at the Hoover Met. The previous two tournaments were the building blocks for the last two College World Series Champions, as Mississippi State and Ole Miss were both eliminated within the first two days of the tournament. However, neither team will compete in Hoover this season, as both finished at the bottom of the SEC standings.
Can the Auburn Tigers continue their hot streak in the SEC Tournament? The Tigers have won seven games in a row and 12 of their last 15 games to earn the No. 5 seed of the tournament.
“We absolutely played hard and kept going,” Auburn head coach [autotag]Butch Thompson[/autotag] said Saturday following the Tigers sweep of Missouri. “When it opened up and we got an opportunity, we made the most of it.”
Auburn will begin play on Tuesday night as they will face Missouri for the fourth straight game in the final contest of the day. Auburn swept Missouri over the weekend by outscoring them, 20-9.
As you prepare for an exciting week of action from Hoover, here’s a full rundown of the SEC Tournament schedule, which kicks off with South Carolina battling Georgia on Tuesday morning.
