With LSU and Florida playing in the best-of-three championship series opening Saturday night, the SEC is assured of winning its fourth straight national title — by four different teams. “It’s not a little boy’s league.” Florida’s pitching is lined up with starters Brandon Sproat and Hurston Waldrep for Games 1 and 2 and Jac Caglianone if the series goes to a third. LSU’s Tommy White, who hit the game-winning home run against Wake Forest on Thursday, and Caglianone, the national home run co-leader in addition to being the Gators’ No.
