Different opponent. Different city. Same result.

South Carolina blew a one-run lead in the eighth and ninth innings before LSU’s Antoine Duplantis hit a walk-off single in the 10th to lead the Tigers to a 7-6 win over the Gamecocks.

The loss is the sixth straight SEC series loss for South Carolina (27-19, 11-13 SEC).

LSU’s tying run in the eighth inning was controversial as with two outs Madison Stokes fielded a groundball and fired to Matt Williams. The throw beat the runner but it was ruled that Williams’ foot came off the base, allowing the tying run to score.
