2024 SEC Baseball Tournament: Results, schedule, updated bracket

Gary Cosby Jr. / USA TODAY NETWORK

We are set for another jampacked day of baseball in Hoover, with the SEC Baseball Tournament heading into Day 2. Tuesday was a single-elimination round, sending four teams home early. Nobody can be eliminated on Wednesday, with the double-elimination portion of the bracket beginning.

LSU and Kentucky got things started with the early morning game, the second in a row for the Tigers. Head coach Jay Johnson has called his team one of the best in the country at the moment, proving so again. Home runs, including grand slams from Jared Jones and Tommy White, saw LSU cruise to a comfortable run-rule win after eight innings.

South Carolina and Arkansas followed in the second game of day, coming down to the finish. The game was tied at four entering the final inning before Cole Messina launched a two-run homer to deep centerfield to give the Gamecocks a 6-4 lead. The Razorbacks fought back to make it 6-5 in the bottom of the inning and put another runner in scoring position, but the Gamecocks defense secured the final out on a fly ball.

The third game of the day saw the No. 1 seed fall – and the NCAA Tournament picture shake up in the process. Vanderbilt cruised to a 13-4 victory over Tennessee thanks in large part to a five-run second inning and five RBI from Alan Espinal. That means the Vols fall into the losers’ bracket while the Commodores advance and awaited the winner of Texas A&M vs. Mississippi State on Thursday night.

It was a close one throughout the nightcap as the Aggies and Bulldogs entered the ninth inning tied 3-3. But Connor Hujsak – the hero in Tuesday’s game – came up with a two-run single to put MSU up 5-3 heading into the bottom half of the inning. Evan Aschenbeck then mowed Texas A&M down in order to not only send the Bulldogs to the late game on Thursday, but send the last of the top four seeds into the losers’ bracket.
