Per NOLA.com, for the first time since 2003, the No. 2 LSU Tigers won the SEC conference. Ole Miss, who also has a 20-10 record, shares a piece of the conference crown, but the Tigers will have the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament since they hold the tiebreaker over the Rebels.
The conference title is LSU's 14th overall, tying Alabama for the most in SEC history.

Also scoring for the Tigers were Ryan Schimpf's two-run double and Blake Dean's three-run homer. Adding another five runs in the eigth was right fielder Jared Mitchell with an RBI-triple, and second baseman DJ LeMahieu drove in Mitchell with a sacrfice fly.
Pitcher Nolan Cain, who relieved Austin Ross after the weather delay, only allowed three runs and five hits in his three innings.
The SEC tournament begins on Wednesday in Hoover, Ala.
