Did the Tennessee Volunteers win today?

The Tennessee Volunteers and the LSU Tigers faced off on Sunday with the SEC Tournament championship and the conference's automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament on the line. LSU got off to a strong start, taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, courtesy of a two-out home run by Jared Jones.

Its lead didn't last long, though, as Tennessee plated three runs in the top of the third inning, thanks to a Billy Amick two-out three-run shot. There was no additional scoring until the top of the seventh inning when Hunter Ensley gave the Volunteers a much needed insurance run with a two-out RBI single, pushing the lead to 4-1.

The Tigers didn't go down without a fight, though, as they attempted to rally in the bottom of the ninth. Back-to-back one-out doubles from Hayden Travinski and Steven Milam cut the deficit to two runs. Mac Bingham followed by bringing in Milam, courtesy of a fielding error by Amick. The error allowed him to reach second base, bringing the game within one run.

Despite having a runner in a scoring position with less than two outs, LSU was unable to capitalize, as back-to-back strikeouts allowed the Tennessee Volunteers to capture their fifth conference championship.
