The SEC led an exciting weekend of baseball during the weekend. Here's what you may have missed.
Georgia sweeps No. 5 Arkansas
A home run robbery, a game-tying grand slam and a walk-off home run all led to Georgia's win over No. 5 Arkansas. Let's jump ahead to the ninth inning where it all happened.
Top of the ninth
With one out and a 1-0 count, Arkansas' Ben McLaughlin drove the ball off his bat deep into right field. That's when Charlie Condon robbed a would-be home run.
In case you forgot: @CharlieCondon14 can do it all.
