If a team finishes in the top eight of the SEC, it gets a first-round bye at the SEC Tournament next week in Hoover. With its home series win over then-No. 6 Georgia, No. 18 Alabama has placed itself back among those eight at the start of this week, to go along with its No. 8 RPI spot.

Needing a series win against the Top 10 ranked Bulldogs to boost their regional host chances, Alabama opened the series about as rough as you can with a 19-3 run-rule loss, but bounced back over the next two games with wins to end up taking the three-game set in a big resume-boosting weekend.

Alabama baseball's final home series of the regular season is here. Follow along for score updates, game highlights and more throughout the weekend.
