Top 25 Showdowns

• (1) Florida at (16) Mississippi: Bobby Wahl (8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K) allowed just one Gator to advance past first base in the longest outing of his career, leading Ole Miss to a 3-0 win. Matt Snyder's two-run homer highlighted Mississippi's three-run first against Hudson Randall (6 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K), and that was enough support for Wahl and Brett Huber, who worked a scoreless ninth for his sixth save.

• (2) Stanford at (8) Arizona: Mark Appel (8 IP, 12 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 K) carried a 7-4 lead into the ninth inning, but the Wildcats rallied for four runs in the ninth to win. Bobby Brown's two-run single up the middle tied the game, but Jake Stewart overran the ball in center field, allowing Seth Mejias-Brean to race all the way around from first with the winning run. Mejias-Brean and Brown combined for seven hits and six RBIs for the Wildcats, who committed five errors behind Kurt Heyer (8 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 11 K).

• (3) Arkansas at (15) Louisiana State: JaCoby Jones (4-for-5, 2B, R, RBI) and Raph Rhymes (2-for-4, HR, 4 RBI) led a 17-hit attack in support of Kevin Gausman (6.2 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 12 K), as LSU knocked of Arkansas 10-6. Rhymes, Ross and Hanover each hit their first homers of the year, giving LSU its first three-homer game since May 21, 2010. Gausman's 12 strikeouts were a career high.

• (10) Kentucky at (25) Georgia: For the third straight Friday, Georgia had to deal with wet weather. But while rain delays cut ace Alex Wood's starts to four innings in each of the last two weeks, this time around the game was postponed before it began. The teams will play a doubleheader Saturday.

• (14) Arizona State at (23) Oregon: The series opener was postponed in Eugene, too. A doubleheader has been scheduled for Saturday.
