When taking a look back at this past weekend across SEC baseball, there were many results that likely caught your attention, some maybe more than others.
For example, one of the SEC’s most surprising results came at Auburn where the Tigers played host to one of the nation’s top teams, and went on to sweep that series as well. In addition to that, ranked matchups took place in a few other places across the conference as well, with one of the biggest coming in Athens.
