SEC Play Begins (2022)

Several SEC teams are beginning conference play this weekend. Here are some comments from action I've caught on the SEC Network...

Mississippi State off to an early 3-0 lead at No. 4 Florida (online scoreboard)... Six-run fifth inning sparks Gators to 8-4 win...

LSU is threatening to hand No. 2 Alabama (20-0) its first loss of the season. The Tigers, playing at home, lead the Tide 11-6 in the bottom of the fifth (online scoreboard). Three-run shot by LSU's Taylor Pleasants making it 10-6 in the fifth (video via Twitter) is the most recent big hit in this slugfest... Tigers continue their rally in the fifth, with an 11th run across and runners on second and third with two out... Walk loads the bases... Ground-out ends inning... Bama loads the bases in the top of the sixth with two out... K ends the threat... LSU expands lead on Georgia Clark's two-run shot in bottom of sixth (video), 13-6... It's a final... Bama starter Montana Fouts with a tough outing, lasting only 2 and 2/3 innings and giving up 5 runs, 5 hits, and 6 walks (with 6 strikeouts)... Tigers sweep doubleheader with 5-1 win in the nightcap.

Washington used a first-inning grand-slam homer from pitcher Danielle Lawrie and some late insurance runs to defeat Georgia by a score of 9-3 in tonight's late game. The win gives U-Dub a spot in the best-of-three championship series against Florida starting Monday (Georgia had defeated Washington earlier today, 9-8 in nine innings, to force tonight's rematch). The Huskies thus claimed "top dog" status over Georgia on their side of the bracket. Florida got a two-out grand-slam homer from Ali Gardiner in the bottom of the seventh to edge Alabama 6-5. The Crimson Tide made a strong recovery in the tournament after looking "not ready for prime time" in an opening-round loss to Michigan. But, as a result of tonight's heartbreaking loss to the Gators, Bama is now eliminated. Lowrie's and Gardiner's grand-slams are among four that have been hit so far in this World Series.
