The plan was to play four single-elimination games yesterday, but only three were played because of the weather. 11th seeded Alabama upset sixth-seeded Georgia five to three, seventh-seeded Florida edged South Carolina two to one in ten innings and 8th seeded Vanderbilt defeated 9th seeded Ole Miss 3-1. LSU will play the winner of this morning’s game between Auburn and Kentucky tomorrow morning at 9:30.

The Bulldogs and the 49ers will get underway at 12:30 in Hattiesburg.
