The Alabama baseball team didn't have the weekend it was hoping for in its most recent SEC series against Auburn, dropping games one and three and having to play a Saturday doubleheader.

At 27-6 overall and 7-5 in the SEC, the Crimson Tide has still had good fortunes this spring. Rob Vaughn and company entered last week at No. 8 in D1Baseball's rankings and slid to No. 12 this week; it's not the top 10, but the drop was far from a cascade.

Auburn checked in at No. 11, rising from No. 16. It has defeated its in-state rival in a series in two straight seasons.

The Crimson Tide meets No. 23 Southern Miss on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The Golden Eagles didn't have a great week in the D1Baseball Top 25 either, falling 10 spots from No. 13. This yearly game was contested in Hattiesburg last season, with Alabama losing despite a late rally.

Zane Adams, now the team's Friday night starter, got the ball in that game as a freshman. The Crimson Tide defeated Southern Miss in 2023 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium in a season that saw both programs reach a super regional (the Golden Eagles hosted one).
