Rainy weather has pushed back some start times at the SEC baseball tournament in Hoover, Alabama. So far just one game has been completed, with Alabama topping Georgia 5-3 this morning. LSU was slated to play the winner of tonight’s game between Kentucky and Auburn, but that has been postponed until noon tomorrow, leaving the Tigers in limbo for the time being. However, delays don’t change the Tigers’ goals and outfielder Dylan Crews says they’ve come to Hoover on a mission.

Cut 18 (20) “…ready for it.”
