Overall Thoughts on series: I watched a couple of games via YouTube highlights and for whatever reason they look a lot better at home which sucks because we will be playing them at home.

Alabama Home SEC Series
Tenn Vols 2-1
G1 (L) 3-11
G2 (W) 6-3
G3 (W) 7-6

SC Gamecocks 2-1
G1 (W) 4-3
G2 (W) 13-6
G3 (L) 8-9

Arkansas 2-1
G1 (L) 3-5
G2 (W) 4-3
G3 (W) 5-0

Texas AM 1-2
G1 (L) 5-10
G2 (L) 9-18
G3 (W) 10-9

A team who will string together a bunch of base hits with Gage Miller as their big slugger has 18 HR and TJ McCantis with 13 HR (Leads team in strikeouts by about double anyone elses with 52) Will not walk a lot but will not strikeout a ton as they have the lowest amount of strikeouts but lowest amount of walks. Will be a tough series and will have to have the clutch timely hits like we had this weekend.

Prediction 2-1 LSU. (We will have to play really good baseball to walk out of there with 2 wins because they have beat SC/ Ark/ Tenn in home series.)
On a positive note they had a really bad weekend this weekend vs Miss State as their pitching was all over the place and they went 1-2 losing badly in the first 2 and salvaging the last game.
