Results

Texas A&M def. Vanderbilt, 3-1

The SEC tournament opened with a rain delay and an upset Tuesday afternoon, as Texas A&M ended Vanderbilt's SEC season with a 3-1 win.

Starting pitcher Kaylor Chafin went six innings for the Aggies, giving up just one run on six hits and five strikeouts. He outlasted Tyler Brown, who gave up two runs on five hits in five innings of work.

After an hour-long rain delay in the top of the second, Vanderbilt struck first in the bottom of that inning as an Austin Martin single knocked in Julian Infante.

Two runs from the Aggies in the top of the fifth proved to be the difference, however, as a Cole Bedford RBI single and a fielder's choice from Michael Helman pushed the Aggies ahead. Helman's RBI single in the top of the seventh gave the Aggies a bit of a cushion.

Up next for the Aggies is a matchup against No. 8 Georgia on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Auburn def. Kentucky in 11 Innings, 4-3

Edouard Julien was the hero for Auburn on Tuesday, as his walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th scored Brett Wright and gave the Tigers a 4-3 victory over Kentucky.

It was a moment of redemption for Auburn's designated hitter, who had struck out three times prior to his winning hit. And it spoiled Kentucky's comeback, as Kole Cottam's RBI double in the top of the ninth tied the game and ultimately sent it into extra innings.

Cottam was Kentucky's most dangerous hitter throughout, as he finished with three hits, including a home run.

After both teams traded runs in the first, Auburn pushed across two in the bottom of the third behind an RBI single from Steven Williams and Wright's RBI double. But Kentucky pushed across runs in the fifth and ninth to make it a ballgame before Julien's heroics.

Three Auburn pitchers—Jack Owen, Davis Daniel and Cody Greenhill, who earned the win—combined to give up just three runs on 11 hits and nine strikeouts in the contest.

Up next for Auburn is a clash with No. 4 Ole Miss on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET.

LSU def. Mississippi State, 8-5

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are headed home after they blew a three-run lead and fell to the LSU Tigers, 8-5, on Tuesday night.

While Mississippi State jumped out to an encouraging start behind Justin Foscue's two-RBI double in the third inning and Tanner Allen's sac fly in the fourth, LSU answered late, as its bats woke up following an early slumber.

With the score knotted at four entering the bottom of the seventh inning, Tigers infielder Jake Slaughter drew a bases-loaded hit by pitch to bring in a go-ahead run before Nick Coomes brought a run home on a sac fly.

LSU kept the runs flowing in the eighth inning, and outfielder Antoine Duplantis proved huge with an RBI triple that capped off a three-hit day. Austin Bain added an RBI single for good measure to stretch the Tigers' lead to three.

And even though the Bulldogs had Josh Hatcher at the plate with two outs in the bottom of the ninth representing the tying run, Todd Peterson induced a game-ending groundout to keep LSU's conference title hopes alive.

LSU will return to the diamond Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. ET against the top-seeded Florida Gators.

South Carolina def. Missouri, 4-2 

The South Carolina Gamecocks came up clutch with three runs in the seventh inning to survive the single-elimination portion of SEC tournament play in Tuesday's nightcap. 

After Carlos Cortes drew a bases-loaded walk to tie things at two, Madison Stokes and Jonah Bride produced an RBI apiece to double up the Tigers and give the Gamecocks' bullpen the cushion it needed to close things out comfortably. 

Graham Lawson, who registered the save, pitched two scoreless innings while striking out three and allowing a single hit. 

South Carolina, the 23rd-ranked team in the country, will be back in action Wednesday for a showdown with the Arkansas Razorbacks.
