• Florida clinched its second series win ever in Baton Rouge, beating Louisiana State 1-0. Hudson Randall (6.2 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K) and two relievers held the Tigers scoreless for the first time at the new Alex Box Stadium, while Kevin Gausman (8 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K) was a tough-luck loser, allowing only one run on Daniel Pigott's first-inning RBI double.
• Virginia beat Florida State in 11 innings for the second straight day, 5-4, on Jared King's walk-off homer. It was Virginia's 13th straight win, and FSU's third straight loss—all on the road against top 10 teams in extra innings.
• Texas A&M pounded Oklahoma, 11-1. The Aggies rapped out 19 hits in support of So. RHP Michael Wacha (9 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K).
• South Carolina came from behind with single runs in each of the last two innings to beat Georgia, 2-1, evening the series. Scott Wingo hit a walk-off RBI infield single in the ninth.
• Matt Purke (5.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 11 K) bounced back from his first collegiate loss, and Texas Christian rebounded from its first Mountain West Conference loss of the season, beating UNLV 12-2.
• Texas forced extra innings with a run in the ninth, then beat Kansas State on a bases-loaded walk in the 10th, 4-3.

• Pepperdine swept a doubleheader against Coastal Carolina, 2-1 and 7-1. The Chanticleers mustered just three runs in there games, as the Waves swept the series.
• Oregon swept a doubleheader at San Diego, 6-3 and 10-7. Tyler Anderson (8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 11 K) was masterful in the opener, and the Ducks' resurgent offense produced a balanced 14-hit attack in the nightcap.
• Oregon State and Long Beach State split a doubleheader, but the Beavers won the series. Josh Osich (5.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K) was overpowering in the nightcap, sitting at 93-95 and touching 97-98, but LBSU's Shawn Stuart (6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 12 K) was even better. The Dirtbags won on Ino Patron's walk-off RBI single in the 11th.
• Texas Tech stormed back from a 13-4 deficit with nine runs in the top of the ninth, only to see Baylor win 14-13 on Josh Ludy's walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the frame. Ludy had five RBIs. The series is even heading into Sunday.

• Alabama evened its series at Mississippi with a 7-5 win. Andrew Miller had four hits to lead the Crimson Tide.

Thanks for the great update! What a weekend of baseball, and it's still March. I saw all three U Va – FSU games, and the quality of play was excellent. Three extra inning games, all decided by a run. Hope to see the Hoos move up this week, but Florida looks awfully good so far.
Posted by Ted Dintersmith | March 20, 2011 at 9:28 pm | ShortcutNo love for SB's Matt Vedo? He went 8 2/3 innings of no-hit ball before an error in the 9th forced him to face one more batter that ended up hitting a double. He lost the no-hitter and the shutout. SB still ended up sweeping both games against Nevada.
Posted by DodgerSoul | March 20, 2011 at 10:19 pm | ShortcutAaron, I thought this weekend was a good benchmark for the Beavs. After hosting a number of lil sisters of the poor for the last two weeks the Dbags offered a great challenge at their place. Gaviligo pitched an almost perfect gem on Friday and the Beavs showed heart in an ugly win and a pitchers duel loss on Saturday. I do expect we shall make some noise in the Pac this year. The Buzz is about team chemistry, it rivals our last Nchamp team.
