Coming into Saturday’s series finale against Alabama, the Rebs needed a little help from the Georgia Bulldogs if they wanted to hoist some hardware when the regular season had come to a close. Well, somewhere around the second or third inning, the Bulldogs held up their end of the bargain, beating Arkansas and leaving the door open for the Rebels to win and take home the West title.
And that they did, closing out an Alabama team that just wouldn’t die, 10-8, to win the series, win the West, and add to an already sparkling national seed resume that has 42 wins at the very top.
