PrintDon't look now, but the Rebels are riding an 8 game win streak into this weekend's series with South Carolina. Ever since losing back to back one-run games to finish the LSU series, the Rebels have reeled off eight straight victories.
There has not been any sort of common theme throughout the victories; rather, it's been a combination of clutch hitting, solid pitching, and good 'ole determination that has gotten the job done.
The winning this week began last night with a 5-4 victory over the Privateers of New Orleans. The Rebel pitching staff provided a shutout tonight to win 7-0.
One Man to Beat will be providing a quality preview of the series with USC this weekend, but I would like to examine a couple of interesting stats from SEC play. You all see the averages they put on the jumbotron, but how are the players fairing in SEC play?
Batting
Jordan Henry leads the way with a .452 average.
Zach Miller .342
Matt Smith .333
Logan Power .293
Matt Snyder .286
As a team: .278
Pitching
Scott Bittle 1.42 ERA
David Goforth 1.50 ERA
Jake Morgan 2.45 ERA
Drew Pomeranz 3.24 ERA
Brett Bukvich 94.50 ERA
Team Stats
9th in SEC in batting average with a .278
1st in SEC in pitching with a 4.46 ERA
3rd in SEC in fielding % with a .976
Jordan Henry is 3rd in SEC in batting average among players who have played in all 12 SEC games with a .452 (4th in hits)
Scott Bittle leads the SEC in ERA with a 1.42
Before you embarrass yourself and try to prove me wrong, remember that all of these stats are only from SEC games.

Bukvich pitched a really good game tonight.
I think it was 7.0 innings, 0 runs, 3 hits, 7 strikeouts, and 2 walks. He was also a very solid midweek starter before he was inserted as Sunday starter in the Alabama series.
The thing about Bukvich is that he blows the big games. He cannot handle the pressure. I think before that Sunday of failure, Buk had the lowest ERA on the team, and by tonight’s performance, one can see that he still has his “stuff.” I guess he just does not have the mental game to play the top-flight opponents. Hopefully he is just thinking too hard, rather than being scared.
His overall ERA is very good, but he blew up in the 1 (?) SEC game he pitched hence in the post above it says
Brett Bukvich 94.50 ERA
That’s just his ERA in SEC play.
