Texas A&M star OF will reportedly play vs. LSU in the SEC Tournament on Friday night
Texas A&M (30-25, 12-19 SEC) will face No. 1 LSU on Friday night in the SEC Quarterfinals after defeating Mississippi State and Auburn over the past two days, as the starting pitching has stepped up with Ryan Prager and Justin Lamkin combined for 11 strikeouts, leading to Myles Patton taking the mound against the Tigers.
Nothing compares to the dour news that star oufielder Jace LaViolette would miss the remainder of the SEC Tournament, and likely the season after his left hand was hit by a pitch, resulting in the junior writhing in pain, dropping to his knees, and eventually leaving the game for good. After returning with a cast on his left hand, it was inevitable that he would miss Friday's game at the very least.
However, for those who ever questioned LaViolette's toughness, it's time to backtrack, as TexAgs' Ryan Brauninger revealed that the future first round MLB draft selection will miraculously play against LSU in the designated hitter spot, batting third in the lineup.
How this is possible is beyond my own novice medical knowledge, but trusting the Texas A&M training staff, LaViolette is back in the buisness to help his team in any way possible.
Texas A&M will face LSU on Friday at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on the SEC Network.
