Florida earned the top seed in the 2017 SEC baseball tournament, which will begin on Tuesday at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. It’s the third time the Gators have taken the top seed in the tournament since head coach Kevin O’Sullivan arrived in 2008.
Florida, LSU, Kentucky and Arkansas are the top four seeds and earned a bye. They will play the winners of Tuesday’s single-elimination games. The four winners of the Tuesday games advance to the double-elimination bracket.
The championship game is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Sunday and will air on ESPN2. All other games will air on the SEC Network.
Alabama and Tennessee missed the SEC tournament. The Crimson Tide’s season ended on Saturday with a 3-3 tie at Vanderbilt to finish the year with a 19-34-1 overall record, including 5-24-1 in conference play.
