LSU baseball eliminated from SEC Tournament after loss to Ole Miss
After holding off a rally from Texas A&M in the quarterfinals on Friday night, LSU baseball fell 2-0 to Ole Miss in the semifinal round of the SEC Baseball Tournament.
Jay Johnson used Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson during last night's win, so LSU entered Saturday with its two aces on the shelf. Jaden Noot got the start on the mound. In the top of the first inning, the Rebels got on the board with a solo shot to give them a 1-0 lead.

The LSU bats picked up where they left off against Texas A&M. The Tigers failed to even get a hit after the third inning against the Aggies. LSU was held hitless in the bottom of the first.
In the bottom of the third inning, LSU finally got its first hit as Cade Arrambide hit a single. Chris Stanfield followed that with a single to put runners on first and second with only one out and the top of the order due up. Derek Curiel and Jared Jones weren't able to get a hit, and we headed to the top of the fourth inning still trailing 1-0.
In the top of the fourth inning, the Rebels scored again on an RBI single to increase their lead to 2-0. Noot's day came to an end after the fourth inning as Chase Shores entered to pitch. Noot pitched four innings and allowed two runs on three hits, seven strikeouts, and two walks.
Shores found himself in a jam in the top of the sixth inning, but Stephen Milam made a great play to bail him out, and he was able to keep Ole Miss from scoring before being pulled from the game in the top of the seventh inning. He finished the day after 2.2 innings. He allowed zero runs on zero hits, three strikeouts, and three walks. Jacob Mayers entered the game to pitch after Shores.
As we entered the bottom of the eighth inning, LSU had not gotten a hit since the bottom of the third inning, just like last night against Texas A&M. The difference is, they were behind in this game instead of being ahead. The Tigers still trailed 2-0, and they were running out of chances to make a comeback. LSU hitters went three up and three down, and we headed to the ninth with the Tigers still trailing.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Danny Dickinson grounded out, Jake Brown struck out, Ethan Frey walked, and Josh Pearson entered to pitch hit. Pearson flew out to center field, and the game was over.
LSU will now wait to see which teams it will welcome into Baton Rouge for the Regional next week. The hosts will be announced Sunday night at around 7:30 PM.
