Another week of SEC baseball is in the books. Week four of conference play brought a top-five showdown between Texas and Georgia. LSU and Oklahoma met in another meeting of top-10 squads. On the plains, Auburn and Alabama renewed their rivalry in a ranked matchup.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M found life vs. Tennessee while Florida continued to slip. The weekend was full of action with postseason implications.
We have more separation in the standings at the top of the conference. What was once a four-way tie at No. 1 is now a two-way tie between Texas and Auburn. LSU sits alone in third place at 10-2, with Tennessee in fourth place at 9-3. All four schools are in the race for the regular season conference championship. Georgia and Ole Miss sit at 8-4. Both are a good series away from reentering that conversation.
Here are the biggest stories and five takeaways from the weekend's SEC baseball action.
Texas sweeps Georgia in top-5 battle
The biggest series of the weekend was in Austin, Texas, where No. 3 Georgia traveled to No. 5 Texas. After Texas took games one and two, Georgia entered Sunday looking to protect against a sweep.
Georgia was down a run in the top of the seventh. Nolan McCarthy homered to tie it at three. The tie held until extra innings. Then, Texas catcher Rylan Galvan came up to bat. With a 3-1 count, Galvan went oppo, driving the ball over the right-center field wall. Texas walked it off to win 4-3, sweeping the No. 3 Bulldogs.

On the mound, Texas got a quality start from Roger Riojas before Dylan Volantis entered to shut the door with four shutout innings. Volantis struck out eight without issuing a walk.
It was a statement win for the Longhorns. Texas is 11-1 in SEC play and has a series win over LSU and a sweep of Georgia under its belt. It's hard to find a better resume than that right now.
There were questions about how Texas would handle the grind of the SEC schedule, but the Longhorns are passing every test. The sweep over Georgia marked Texas' first sweep over a top-3 team in six years.
Perhaps no man looks better than Texas head coach Jim Schlossnagle. After leading Texas A&M to the College World Series final, Schlossnagle departed for Texas. Texas A&M struggled out the gate in 2025 as Texas emerged as a contender.
Texas hired a guy who was a proven winner in the SEC. The Longhorns' success in their inaugural SEC campaign is no accident.
