The Southeastern 16 crew reacts to Friday night SEC baseball action, including:

Tennessee’s Liam Doyle and Vanderbilt’s JD Thompson faced off in a premier pitching matchup, but Doyle got the edge in a 3-2 win thanks to huge defensive plays from Hunter Ensley.

Auburn swept South Carolina in a doubleheader, including a Game 1 walk-off safety squeeze bunt. Chris Rembert, Eric Guevarra, Cooper McMurray, Bub Terrell and Lucas Steele (twice) all homered for Auburn on Friday, which won despite not getting a usual Sam-Dutton like appearance from its ace. The Tigers are now in prime position to host one weekend, if not two, in the NCAA tournament.

Kentucky needs a series win and got off to a great start, beating Kyson Witherspoon and Oklahoma on Friday thanks to great relief from Jackson Nove and a Cole Hage home run. Easton Carmichael homered for Oklahoma.

Texas hosts Florida, looking to rebound from its first series loss of the year last weekend. The Gators jumped on Texas early, scoring six runs before the Longhorns got a second out. PIerce Coppola started for Florida while Ruger Riojas was roughed up for Texas.

Ole Miss’s Hunter Elliott and Mississippi State’s Pico Kohn battles in a rivalry series with big implications for both sides. Elliott got the best of Kohn in Game 1 as Jud Utermark, Austin Fawley, Colin Reuter and Ryan Moerman each homered.

Georgia and Alabama played a doubleheader a series that could have national-seeding and hosting implications for both sides. The Bulldogs got six home runs, including two from Kolby Branch, in a 19-3 rout in Game 1.

Texas A&M looks to take another step towards an NCAA tournament bid in its series with Missouri.

Arkansas’s Zach Root and LSU’s Kade Anderson facing off in Baton Rouge in a premier pitching matchup. (Or did they? The game was in a rain delay at stream start time.)
