Earlier this week, Alabama beat Auburn in a Monday afternoon SEC tournament baseball game and drew 7,241.
Apparently, we’re supposed to sweat about this, because it’s the smallest crowd for an Alabama-Auburn game in the SEC baseball tournament in Hoover, according to AL.com. They’ve played each other six other times in the Hoover Met, drawing more people each time.

Jacksonville State gave up six runs in the first four innings and lost 6-3 to Belmont in an elimination game of the Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament.
Belmont's Chase Brookshire had a career-high 14 strikeouts and tossed a complete game.
Belmont (38-20) will advance to Friday's elimination game, while Jacksonville State ends the season at 32-26, marking the ninth time in the last 10 years the Gamecocks posted 30 or more wins.

The Crimson Tide rallied from a three-run deficit in Thursday’s early SEC elimination game at the Hoover Met, and Mikey White’s two-run single in the top of the 10th inning keyed a 7-5 victory over Ole Miss. Seventh-seeded Alabama (34-25) will play the Arkansas-LSU loser Friday at 3 p.m. Ole Miss (37-22) awaits Monday’s announcement of the NCAA tournament field. The Tide also improved to 3-6 in extra-inning games this season, having won two in a row.

Depending on which side of the equation one sits, a double play is either a pitcher’s best friend or a hitter’s nightmare.
Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky got ample doses of both Wednesday in their Ohio Valley Conference tournament opener. They combined to turn eight double plays in the game, setting what is believed to be a neutral-site tournament record and tying Southeast Missouri’s team record with four each.

It used to be Jacksonville State was a virtual lock whenever its first game came up in the Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament. It’s not that way lately.
The Gamecocks dropped their tournament opener for the second year in a row Wednesday, falling to fifth-seeded Eastern Kentucky 11-2 at The Ballpark at Jackson.

Evan Gattis no longer seems amazed by his improbable rookie season.
Yet, there are still times when it's a bit of an adjustment for the Atlanta Braves catcher.
Like when someone recognizes him in the grocery store.
"It's a little weird," the 26-year-old Gattis said. "I'm not used to that yet."
Gattis did it again Wednesday, hitting his first career grand slam. B.J. Upton and Ramiro Pena also homered for the Braves, who finished off a sweep of the woeful Minnesota Twins with an 8-3 rout.
