#8 Ole Miss at Tennessee Game 1 Thread - 7 PM - SECN/ESPN3

[drvenner]

He's good, great at football...everybody likes what they like. No controversy at all...put up the last play and listen to the calls...I'm just a fan of Wilkerson, that's all.

I remember when it was Mike Keith when they first started broadcasting baseball here. He is great. John does a fantastic job, too. I love both. I am not too crazy about Vince, however.

2. SEC Play Opening Night Doesn’t Disappoint

sec-largeWe had coverage from the Music City on Friday with Mississippi State junior righthander Dakota Hudson tossing an absolute gem in a win over Vanderbilt, but there was plenty of other intriguing action around the league with some hard-fought contests.

In Gainesville, Fla., Missouri tied top-ranked Florida 3-3 in the top of the ninth inning, but the Gators responded in the bottom of the 10th inning with a walk-off RBI single from Peter Alonso to win 4-3. UF righthander Logan Shore struck out 10 and allowed just two runs in 5.1 innings.

In Knoxville, Tenn., a banged up Tennessee team got a walk-off RBI single from Derek Lance to knock off red-hot Ole Miss 3-2, while Zach Warren led the charge on the mound, striking out eight, walking three and allowing a run on four hits in 6.1 innings.

Lastly, while Aaron Fitt wrote on Robert Tyler and Georgia, South Carolina bested Arkansas 10-6 in a game that saw the Razorbacks make a fierce late-inning comeback. Gamecocks righthander Clarke Schmidt struck out a career-high 11 in seven innings of work.
