After dropping one in Birmingham on Wednesday (making it five losses out of their last six games), the Tide rebounded to open SEC play, taking a the weekend series with Tennessee (boo! hiss!) 2-1.

Much to The Mayor's delight, the Diamond Dawgs opened their conference schedule with a splash, sweeping #20 Auburn after a very less than lackluster start to the season. They'll host Mercer in Athens on Tuesday, before traveling to Knoxville (boo! hiss!) to continue conference play.
