LSU’s Taylor Pleasants ends longest SEC Tournament game in history with 14th-inning walk-off

More than 430 pitches were thrown in the titanic struggle between LSU and Alabama in the first round of the SEC Softball Tournament, with the Tigers finally securing the win in the bottom of the 14th inning.

The 14-inning ballgame sets the record for the most innings in a single SEC Tournament game, doubling the length of a typical seven-inning softball match. Starting at 10:00 a.m. central time in local Auburn, Alabama, the Tigers and Crimson Tide battled for nearly four hours as LSU batted in the game-winning run just before 2:00 p.m. CT.

The two clubs knocked in two runs apiece during the regulation innings before remaining deadlocked at 2-2 through the 13th inning. Then, in the 14th, with the bases loaded and one out, LSU’s Taylor Pleasants sent a moonshot right over top of the Alabama centerfielder that hit the wall and drove in the final run, winning the game for the Tigers, 3-2.
