It’s back. On Tuesday, the 2024 SEC Baseball Tournament kicked off in Hoover, Ala. Over six days, the tournament will host 17 games, eventually crowning a conference champion. No. 11 LSU jumpstarted the tournament with a 9-1 upset win over No. 6 Georgia.
In the win, the Tigers tallied 14 hits against the Bulldogs. Tommy White and Michael Braswell III led the way for LSU, recording three hits each on a combined 12 at-bats. LSU’s pitchers were pivotal, as well, holding Georgia to a .194 batting average.
The action didn’t slow down in No. 10 South Carolina’s win over No. 7 Alabama. South Carolina exploded for six runs in the third inning, highlighted by a grand slam from Dalton Reeves. The Gamecocks never looked back, running away with a 10-5 triumph.

In the third game of the day, Vanderbilt held the Florida offense at bay en route to the 6-3 victory to advance to Wednesday’s second round. The Commodores got a good start from Bryce Cunningham, show threw six innings of scoreless ball before Brennan Seiber got the three-inning save to close it out despite allowing a ninth-inning homer. Braden Holcomb had the big hit of the night for Vanderbilt with a two-run home run in the fourth inning to break the game open.
Offense was hard to come by in the final game of the night, which was a bona fide pitchers duel between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Rebels took a 1-0 lead into the top of the ninth inning, but the Bulldogs found themselves with an opportunity when David Mershon got to second base on a passed ball. With two outs, Connor Hujsak hit one over the left field fence for a walk-off winner – sending MSU to the next round with the 2-1 victory.
