Alabama
Friday’s opener against Illinois-Chicago was cancelled due to rain, but the Crimson Tide swept the double-header scheduled for Saturday by the scores of 4-2 and 20-4. Sunday’s contest was cancelled due to snow. Alabama is now 5-2 on the season.
No. 21 Arkansas
It took 10 innings, but the Razorbacks won the opening game 8-7 on a sophomore Brett Eibner game-winning triple. The final two games of the series were cancelled due to weather in Fayetteville. Arkansas is now 5-1 on the season.
Auburn
The Tigers opened up the first two games of the weekend series on Thursday at No. 22 Florida State. The Seminoles won both games in Tallahassee by the scores of 8-7 and 14-5. The series moved to Auburn on Saturday, where the home-standing Tigers won 10-9. Sunday’s game was cancelled due to snow. Auburn is now 3-4 on the season.
No. 24 Florida
