After losses on Friday and Saturday, it looked like Tennessee was going to salvage at least one win from No. 23 LSU on the road on Sunday.

Then the ninth inning happened.

Tennessee entered the bottom half of the ninth with a 7-3 lead, but after a slew of errors and base hits, Daniel Cabrera hit a three-run, walk-off homer to give the Tigers a 9-7 win.

Vols’ starter Will Neely pitched into the ninth, but was taken out after LSU cut the Tennessee lead to 7-4. Neely finished the game with 8 IP, 6 R, 3 ER, 1 BB and 6 K.
