FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will be the No. 7 seed at the SEC Baseball Tournament in Hoover, Alabama. 

The Razorbacks will play their first game at the single-elimination tournament Wednesday at approximately 4:30 p.m. against either Tennessee or South Carolina. The 10th-seeded Volunteers will play the 15th-seeded Gamecocks on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. 

If Arkansas wins its first game in Hoover, the Razorbacks will play second-seeded Texas on Friday at 3 p.m.

Arkansas won a series 2-1 at South Carolina on March 21-23 and did not play Tennessee this season.

The Razorbacks (36-19, 17-13 SEC) finished in a sixth-place tie with Auburn. The Tigers are the No. 6 seed by virtue of their home series win over Arkansas on April 2-4.
