Kentucky rode another home run from Luke Mailie and Trevor Gott picked up his second save of the series, as the Wildcats (cb360 #28) completed their first sweep of #3 South Carolina since 2006, besting the two-time defending NCAA champs, 6-3, as part of Sunday’s action that saw underdogs go 14-23 (38%) in games involving top-50 teams from the CB360 Composite National Rankings. If not for the Kentucky-SC series, the story of the weekend would have been #41 Texas sweeping the Red River Rivalry series at #18 Oklahoma, 9-4 (the ‘Horns now have won 14 straight series vs. the Sooners).  front-page photo courtesy of  Auburn

Trevor Gott (Kentucky)

Nine head-to-head series between CB360 top-50 teams played out on Sunday, with three other teams joining Kentucky and Texas by completing big-matchup sweeps: #22 Oregon State 13-5 at #24 North Carolina … #23 North Carolina state 5-4 vs. #31 Wake Forest … and #38 Baylor 8-1 vs. #34 Texas Tech. #30 Maryland stopped visiting #4 North Carolina’s upset bid, in a rare 1-0 final, while #27 Mississippi State came home from Baton Rouge with a 7-1 win over #13 LSU.

Mark Payton (Texas)

#12 UCLA won a key series vs. #19 Arizona State, after splitting Sunday’s doubleheader (3-4; 4-2) while #6 Florida State rallied to clinch its Sat.-Sun.-Mon. series with #42 Virginia (4-3).

South Carolina and UNC were two of three CB360 top-10 teams upset on Sunday, with the other one possibly being the biggest shocker – as Grambling won 5-4 at #7 Rice. Three teams outside the top-50 completed sweeps of their top-50 foes on Sunday: Auburn 3-2 vs. #16 Mississippi … Murray State 6-4 at #38 Southern Mississippi … and Davidson 9-8 vs. #50 Elon (in 11 inn.).
