The 2025 SEC Baseball Tournament rolled into its second day Wednesday at Hoover Metropolitan Complex, with Texas A&M making an early statement and several key matchups set to impact NCAA Tournament seeding.

No. 14 seed Texas A&M opened the day with a dominant 9-0 win over No. 11 Mississippi State in a game rescheduled from Tuesday due to inclement weather. Aggies center fielder Jace LaViolette delivered the big blow with a grand slam in the second inning, part of a six-run frame that put the game out of reach early. Starting pitcher Ryan Prager tossed 5.1 shutout innings, striking out six, while the Aggies’ bullpen combined for 3.2 scoreless innings to secure the shutout.

The action continues Wednesday with No. 8 Tennessee facing No. 9 Alabama at 2 p.m. ET in a matchup with major implications for both teams’ NCAA regional hosting hopes. Tennessee, which stumbled down the stretch in SEC play, is looking to build momentum, while Alabama is coming off a 4-1 win over Missouri in the opening round.

Later, No. 5 Georgia takes on No. 12 Oklahoma at 5:30 p.m. ET, and No. 7 Ole Miss faces No. 10 Florida at 9 p.m. ET. Florida advanced after an 11-3 rout of South Carolina on Tuesday, powered by three home runs and a 13-hit offensive outburst.

The tournament, which runs through Sunday, remains crucial for teams on the NCAA bubble, including Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Missouri, all seeking to improve their postseason prospects with a deep run in Hoover. All games are being televised on the SEC Network, with the championship set for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

Wednesday’s results and upcoming matchups will continue to shape the Field of 64 as the SEC’s top teams jockey for national seeds and hosting rights.
