LSU is eliminated from the SEC tournament after they lost 5-4 to Texas A&M in an elimination game Friday afternoon.
Texas A&M shortstop Hunter Haas blasted a three-run home run to put the Aggies in the lead in the bottom of the seventh inning. With Friday’s win, Texas A&M improved to 35-24 and will face Arkansas at 12 p.m. CT Saturday in an SEC Tournament semifinal.
“There’s a lot to be gained from being here, and we’ll use that to get ready for the NCAA Tournament,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “I think our team has had a great regular season, to put ourselves in one of those spots where we’re going to be one of the eight that have an opportunity to host a regional and then host a super regional if we’re able to win the regional.
