The Tigers had a quick turnaround after Friday night’s loss to Tennessee.
[autotag]Jacob Hasty[/autotag] got the start against the Kentucky Wildcats in a win-or-go-home scenario in the SEC Tournament, and they sent the Tigers packing in a 7-2 loss.
Kentucky also sent Hasty packing with a final line of 0.1 innings pitched, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks. [autotag]Eric Reyzelman[/autotag] came in to get the Tigers out of the inning and he did just that. In the bottom of the second, Kentucky hit a solo homer off Reyzelman to increase their lead to 3-0.
The Wildcats scored two runs each in the fourth and fifth inning to make it 7-0 Kentucky headed to the top of the seventh inning, and the LSU offense didn’t have a hit yet. The Tigers finally got on the board in the seventh as Tre Morgan reached on an error and then [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] brought him home on an RBI triple.
[autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] then hit a sacrifice fly to center to score McManus and cut the lead to 7-2 Wildcats. LSU was unable to score any more runs in the game as it was knocked out of the tournament.
Now, we will wait until the selection show Monday morning at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN2 to see whether LSU will host a regional in Baton Rouge or have to travel for their regional.
