PHOTOS: LSU baseball dominates South Carolina in SEC tournament-opening win

The Tigers began their run in Hoover with a 10-3 win.

The Tigers started their week in Hoover, Alabama, at the 2023 SEC Baseball Tournament on a high note.

After splitting the season series against South Carolina, LSU took what amounted to a delayed rubber match against the Gamecocks with a dominating 10-3 win.

[autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] got the start on the mound and was fantastic to start, retiring the first 12 batters of the game as LSU jumped out to an early 6-1 lead. Hurd would ultimately leave the bases loaded with the Gamecocks threatening when he was pulled in the sixth, and he was charged an earned run after [autotag]Sam Dutton[/autotag] walked one of those batters home.

Still, it was an overall great game as he was credited with the win. LSU managed to get some insurance runs and close things out. Now, they’ll face the winner of the game between No. 2-seeded Arkansas and No. 10-seeded Texas A&M on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. CT.

Here were the best photos from the win.
