HOOVER, Ala. -- LSU is heading to its third SEC Championship game in five years after slamming the door on South Carolina's tournament hopes with a deciding 11-0 win over the Gamecocks.
LSU is averaging 8.3 runs per game during its current 10-game winning streak, the second-longest active streak in Division I. Oregon State has won 13 in a row.
All of the Tigers' offense came in the first three innings, where they hit 12-for-20 (.600) and three home runs.
"We came out and took advantage of a pretty depleted pitching staff," said LSU head coach Paul Mainieri.
