Over seven innings on Sunday, Florida outscored LSU 23-1 — and the 23 runs were consecutive. Over the other 22 innings of this championship series, LSU outscored Florida 25-8. And that mattered more — it earned two wins. Hat’s off to the Tigers. That machine is whirring again.

Pretty sure no Division I program has ever won women’s basketball and baseball titles in the same year, either. Kind of wild that USC, Stanford, and South Carolina all did the ships passing in the night thing on that.

Six different teams have won those titles. Two other SEC programs have one to their name. And two of the 15 Division I programs with multiple titles join the league next year.

Thinking about last night for the first time this morning, and: The SEC not making sure Florida-LSU is as close to an annual baseball series as possible would be a mistake. It’s a rivalry. It’s been played for the highest stakes. Make it happen in the regular season. Often.

I say this only to help make a point: A two-way player with 97 Ks in 85.2 IP and 13 homers against Wichita State’s schedule is a legit “massive get.” Jac Caglianone had 87 Ks in 74.2 IP against Florida’s schedule. He also hit a bit.

This has to be a smarter, safer road for upwards of 90 percent of track athletes with pro aspirations than just jumping. And if Nike, Adidas, etc. are committed to this, it could be a sea change for the sport.
