HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - Blake Dean hit a solo home run in the bottom
of the 10th inning to give LSU a 5-4 victory over South Carolina in
the opening game of the Southeastern Conference baseball
tournament.
The Tigers (40-16-1) extended their winning streak to 17 games.
LSU has not lost since April 19.
Jared Bradford (10-4) pitched a scoreless 10th inning after
giving up a leadoff walk to get the win for the Tigers.
LSU trailed 4-0 entering the bottom of the ninth. But two walks
set up a three-run homer by Matt Clark to cut the lead to 4-3.
The Tigers tied the game later in the ninth when D.J. LeMahieu
scored on a bloop hit by Ryan Schimpf.
The Gamecocks (37-20) were in control for much of the game,
thanks to freshman pitcher Sam Dyson. Dyson allowed only two hits
over six and two-thirds innings.
