HOOVER, Ala. — Reverting back to its offense-challenged ways, Ole Miss lost to LSU 8-0 on Saturday morning to end its stay in the double-elimination Southeastern Conference tournament at Regions Park.
LSU right-hander Ben Alsup (4-0) threw a complete game in only his second start of the season, giving up just one hit over seven innings. The game was shortened to seven innings after rain forced a 1 hour, 30 minute delay before the game started. Both teams and SEC officials agreed to the arrangement.
Now Ole Miss (38-22) will wait until Monday to find out who it plays in the 64-team NCAA Tournament. The bracket will be announced at 11:30 a.m. on ESPN. The Rebels are unlikely to be one of 16 teams selected to host a regional site. Those will be announced at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
LSU (39-20) will play the winner of Alabama-Florida in the SEC championship game at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
Playing its fourth game in four days, Ole Miss was low on fresh pitching and it showed. Fifth-year senior Rory McKean (4-2) started, but lasted only 2.1 innings after giving up four runs. LSU’s big rally came in the third inning, when it scored three runs on three hits and a walk to stretch its lead to 4-0.
UM’s lone hit came in the fifth inning, when Matt Smith hit a line drive the deflected off Alsup’s glove for an infield single.
