Top seed Florida and ninth-seeded Kentucky played in a barnburner, but LSU and Arkansas didn't even make it the full nine innings. The regular-season-champion Gators were tested early. Kentucky jumped ahead 3-0 ...

The last four teams in the SEC tournament have already proven themselves as some of the top squads in the nation, but only one will be able to leave as the conference champion.

It all comes down to Day 5 of the 2014 ACC baseball tournament to determine which team from Pool A will face Pool B winner Maryland in Sunday's championship. On Friday, everything worked out in the Terps' favor, as they defeated Florida State by a score of 5-3, increasing Maryland's record to 2-0. The Seminoles dropped to 1-1, and their hopes of a championship were instantly dashed after a win by Virginia in the evening game. The Cavaliers ...
