- 5:49No. 9 LSU Softball Walks-Off No. 20 Alabama in SEC Tournament | HighlightsShortstop Taylor Pleasants hit a run-scoring single in the 14th inning, and pitcher Sydney Berzon set an SEC Tournament single-game record in innings pitched as LSU walked off Alabama, 3-2 to open the 2024 SEC Tournament Wednesday at Jane B. Moore Field.In the 14th inning, with the score tied 2-2, designated player Sierra Daniel hit a leadoff single to center field, and outfielder Ciara Briggs followed with a single to left field. First baseman Raeleen Gutierrez hit another single to center field to load the bases with one out, in which Pleasants stepped to the plate and laced a ball to the center field wall to plate the game-winning run. Pleasants now has three walk-off hits this season.“Our team was in this game,” said Head Coach Beth Torina. “We were going to be hard to beat no matter how long we stayed out there. Our dugout, bench, and supporters were in this game, and though we didn’t get a break, I don’t think there was a moment where I wasn’t confident that this game wasn’t on our side.”LSU has six walk-off wins this season and holds a 5-1 record in extra-inning games. The Bayou Bengals registered the SEC Tournament’s first walk-off since 2022 (Tennessee def. Mississippi State, 1-0 in 13 innings) and LSU’s last walk-off win in the conference tournament since defeating Texas A&M, 5-4 in 2016.“I think the big thing with this team is that there has been a lot of positives, especially some moments where this team has shown they have as much fight and grit as any team in the country,” said coach Torina. “They have more walk-off wins than I can count, and that is due to their grit and toughness, which is what you want out of a team. I want them to go out and battle their opponents. Today was a great reminder of what kind of team we are, and we have done this throughout the season. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, we will go out and battle and give Tennessee a great game.”LSU has a 39-14 record and eliminated Alabama from the tournament, which is 33-17 this season.Berzon (18-7) earned the win after tossing five strikeouts in a career-high 14.0 innings of work and fired 208 pitches in the complete game victory. Berzon threw 13 consecutive shutout innings after allowing two runs in the first. Overall, Berzon gave up eight hits and six walks.Connect with LSU Softball on all our social media platforms ⤵️ Visit our website: https://lsusports.net/sports/sb/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LSUsoftball Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lsusoftball Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lsusoftball/
