It wasn't after dark like the first two games, but South Carolina baseball got yet another marathon at the SEC tournament on Thursday, as the Gamecocks played 12 innings against LSU, losing 6-4.
After playing until 2 a.m. eastern in the first two rounds, USC (33-24, 17-13 SEC) got underway Thursday shortly after 4 p.m. with staff ace Adam Hill on the mound, and twice rallied from deficits to force extra innings. Eventually, however, the Tigers grabbed the win with help from an unlikely source.
In the 12th inning, with two outs, LSU sophomore pitcher Todd Peterson launched a double off freshman reliever TJ Shook to give the Tigers the eventual game-winning runs.
