It was business as usual in the SEC as the 14 teams in the Southeaster Conference took turns beating up on each other on the baseball diamond. Auburn was the big winner on the week as the no.17 Tigers took two out of three from the no. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks, notching their six and seventh conference wins after winning only eight SEC games in 2016.
