We are set for another jampacked day of baseball in Hoover, with the SEC Baseball Tournament heading into Day 2. Tuesday was a single-elimination round, sending four teams home early. Nobody can be eliminated on Wednesday, with the double-elimination portion of the bracket beginning. LSU and Kentucky got things started with the early morning game, the second in a row for the Tigers. Head coach Jay Johnson has called his team one of the best in the country at the moment, proving so again. Home runs, including grand slams from Jared Jones and Tommy White, saw LSU cruise to a comfortable run-rule...

On Wednesday, the Kentucky Wildcats baseball team was hammered by the defending national champions, LSU, in their SEC tournament matchup. The Tigers beat the Wildcats 11-0, invoking the run rule, which resulted in the No. 3 seed conceding the game early. After the game, in the postgame press conference, Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione discussed his team’s mindset, expressing confidence that they would bounce back from Wednesday’s loss. “That’s the beauty of this team; that’s, in my opinion, one of the main reasons why we’ve been so successful this year,” Mingione said. “And this league is an...

Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione and grad transfer third baseman Mitch Daly discussed Kentucky’s 11-0 Second Round loss to LSU in the SEC Tournament postgame. “I thought it was a close game until the seventh inning,” Mingione said. “I thought the job that Robert Hogan did was awesome. He got us nine big outs, and then Johnny Hummel came in and got us six. I think we retired 13 or 14 straight at one point. Give them a lot of credit, they came back and we had some walks and then you mix in a home run and there’s the game.” Hogan and Hummel were excellent in relief, combing to allow just one hit...

No. 3 seed Kentucky was shutout by No. 11 seed LSU 11-0 in their Second Round matchup of the SEC Tournament on Wednesday. Kentucky has now been shut out just twice this season. In a total role reversal, Kentucky’s pitching effort was stellar early on Wednesday while its offense was obsolete. After starter Travis Smith gave up two runs in an inning of work, right-handed relievers Robert Hogan and Johnny Hummel completely shut down the LSU offense in their combined five innings of relief. The Tigers totaled just one hit and no earned runs off the Kentucky bullpen until a Jared Jones seventh inni...

For just the second time ever, Kentucky won the SEC regular season championship in baseball. Sharing the honors with a couple of other teams, it’s still a huge accomplishment for head coach Nick Mingione. While they are now focused on the SEC Tournament in Hoover, he took some time to reflect on the journey. Mingione traces the success to the backend of the 2022 season when Kentucky began to roll. Another step was taken forward last season by making the Super Regionals and being close to the school’s first-ever trip to Omaha. Everything has come together thus far in 2024 with plenty still to p...

No. 3 seed Kentucky and No. 11 seed LSU will meet for the first time this season in the opening game of the Second Round of the 2024 SEC Tournament on Wednesday. Kentucky and LSU played five times last season, with the eventual National Champion Tigers winning four of the five games. Two of those wins came in the Baton Rouge Super Regional, which LSU won in two games by a combined score of 22-3. Wednesday’s matchup will however have a drastically different tone than last season’s, as Kentucky has all but locked up a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament while LSU is fighting for its tournament ...

In our latest Field of 64 projections released on Monday before conference tournament week, 11 SEC teams were in the field. Five were hosting a regional.

Even beyond the SEC, the results of Tuesday’s and the rest of the week’s results will have a big say in the ultimate NC...
