SEC Baseball Breakdown: Opening weekend of conference play separates good from bad

Southeastern Conference baseball is officially back. Boy, does that feel nice to say (er, type).

The first weekend of league play yielded some elite matchups, as well as a couple with teams trying to prove their hot starts to the season were no fluke.

Here’s what we learned from each series of the weekend.

No. 2 Mississippi State (2-1) at No. 14 Florida

The Bulldogs rolled into Gainesville, Florida, to square up with the then-fifth-ranked Gators in the biggest weekend series of this week’s college baseball slate.

They started off hot, knocking off Florida 6-5 and 10-5 in the first two games.
