HOOVER, Ala. (AP) — Scott Moss pitched six scoreless innings and Florida advanced to the Southeastern Conference tournament championship game with a 1-0 victory over LSU on Saturday.
The defending SEC champion Gators (47-12) face Texas A&M Sunday for the title. The only run came in the sixth when Dalton Guthrie reached on an infield single and scored on Jonathan India’s two-out double.
It’s only the second time LSU (42-18) has been shut out in an SEC tournament game. The first was a 1-0 loss to Georgia in 2004.
Moss (3-0) allowed just three hits against LSU, which had won 14 of 15 games and prevailed in a five-hour, 14-inning marathon with the Gators on Wednesday night.
LSU’s Kramer Robertson opened the ninth with a single and made it to third on a wild pitch and grounder. Closer Shaun Anderson then got Beau Jordan to fly out for his 12th save.
They're baaaack!
FINAL: @GatorsBB 1 | LSU 0
