LSU Baseball Needs to Sweep Auburn Today

It is very nice wrapping up a series win on a Saturday. I can't recall the last time that has happened in SEC play for LSU. Still a full sweep against Auburn would be very nice for several reasons.

Of interest are two games which would make a sweep today for LSU very very good. First is Georgia playing at Ole Miss. Georgia lost yesterday. See Ole Miss Rebels 10, Georgia Diamond Dogs 8. One has to think that the odds are with Ole Miss today because the Bulldogs really needed to get that win yesterday. Why? Because they are facing that very nasty Ole Miss Pitcher today. LSU fans will recall him. The Commercial Appeal out of Memphis has a nice article on him at Ole Miss Rebels pitcher Scott Bittle hones his craft .

Currently Georgia is number one in the SEC but they are only one game ahead of LSU.

The other game of interest is the Arkansas game. Arkansas traveled to Tennessee this weekend. It appears the VOLS are spreading their misery around just like they did to LSU last week. They evened up the series against Arkansas last night. See SEC BASEBALL : Errant pickoff sinks Arkansas

Arkansas with Ole Miss is really nipping at LSU's ankles in the SEC west.

Of course this upcoming weekend the LSU Tigers will face one of their most difficult challenges in SEC regular series play as they travel to Arkansas to play that series. A series that I suppose will be the SEC game of the week because of the many ramifications. I expect that will a tough one and it will be a very hostile place to play. Arkansas is beating all sort of former attendance records up there.

It is good perhaps too look at the rest of the regular series schedule
