Tennessee baseball emerged victorious in a nail-biting 4-3 victory over LSU to clinch the SEC Tournament Championship. The Vols, playing their fifth game in as many days, showcased outstanding pitching to secure their second title in three years. Freshman Dylan Loy was instrumental in the win, delivering a stellar performance by allowing no runs and striking out five in 4.2 innings.
Despite missed opportunities in the fourth and fifth innings, Tennessee capitalized on game-changing moments such as a crucial pick-off play by Cal Stark and Billy Amick’s three-run homer. Amick, who had been in a hitting slump, stepped up when it mattered most. Hunter Ensley also shone at the plate, going four-for-four and providing a key RBI single.
The Vols’ pitching stability and offensive threats propelled them to victory, showcasing their resilience throughout the tournament. Now, Tennessee eagerly awaits its draw in the NCAA Tournament, with the Selection Show scheduled for noon ET Monday. The team’s impressive performance in the SEC Tournament sets a strong foundation as they prepare to make their mark in the upcoming postseason.
