Josh Fields saved each of Georgia’s wins over the weekend to lead the Dawgs to 4-2 (10 innings) and 12-10 victories. Georgia (33-17-1, 19-7-1 SEC) now has a 4 game lead over both LSU (35-16-1, 15-11-1 SEC) and Vanderbilt (37-15. 15-11 SEC) heading into the last weekend of SEC play.
LSU swept struggling Mississippi State (20-32, 7-20) to run their winning streak to 12 games. Meanwhile, South Carolina (34-18, 13-14 SEC) dropped three to Arkansas (31-21, 13-13 SEC). The GameCocks collapse appears to have left Georgia as the only sure bet to host a regional. LSU seems to be in good standing with respect to earning a regional host. Vanderbilt and Florida (30-20, 14-13) may be playing this weekend for a chance to earn a third SEC host bid. Kentucky (38-14, 14-13) and Alabama (30-22, 14-13) also harbor hosting hopes, with Alabama unranked but traveling to Georgia for a road set that could significantly improve their profile.
