Once again, Tennessee is doing its part to lift the sagging spirits of a Southeastern Conference opponent.

Mikie Mahtook and Grant Dozar had three hits apiece, including a triple, and LSU starter Kurt McCune allowed one run in 7 2/3 innings as the Tigers pummeled Tennessee for the second straight day, 8-1 on Saturday afternoon.

LSU had 16 hits in the game, and has outscored Tennessee 17-1 in the first two games of the three-game series. The two wins have allowed LSU (32-19, 10-16) to remain two games back in the race for the final SEC Tournament berth, out of it at the moment but still lurking.

Tennessee (23-26, 5-21), meanwhile, lost its 11th consecutive SEC game and for the 11th time in 12 games overall.

Auburn 7, Alabama 5

Auburn 8, Alabama 7

Auburn rallied for five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat Alabama 8-7 and sweep a doubleheader.

Wes Gilmer went 2-for-3 with three RBIs for Auburn (28-23, 13-13 SEC), including an RBI double during the big seventh inning. Jared Reaves homered in the ninth to pull Alabama (3-22, 12-14) within a run, but the Crimson Tide couldn’t get any closer.

In game one, Auburn scored six runs in its last two at-bats to win 7-5.

Vandy 14, Florida 1

Aaron Westlake hit a grand slam during a six-run fifth inning, and Vanderbilt amassed 18 hits in a rout of Florida (38-13, 19-7 SEC).

Conrad Gregor went 2-for-3 with three RBIs for Vanderbilt (42-7, 20-6), and pitcher Grayson Garvin allowed one run in seven innings to get the win. Garvin struck out six and improved to 9-0 in SEC starts, and 11-1 overall.

Earlier, Florida won 4-2 in the completion of a suspended game from Friday night.

Oklahoma City 15, Belhaven 0

Austin Messerli went 5-for-6 with five RBIs and three runs scored, and Oklahoma City University scored 10 runs in the last three innings to eliminate Belhaven in an NAIA regional. Oklahoma City advanced to the NAIA World Series with the victory.

Earlier Saturday, Belhaven (45-18) won an elimination game against Fresno Pacific, 7-6, when Anthony Doss doubled in the go-ahead run in the top of the 12th inning. Doss finished the game 5-for-6 with two RBIs.

It was Belhaven’s second extra-inning win over Fresno Pacific in the regional, and the Blazers’ third in the tournament. Only their final loss to Oklahoma City was over in nine innings.

UCF 9, UAB 0

Central Florida exploded for nine runs in the top of the 10th inning to beat UAB (27-24, 9-14 Conference USA).

Ronnie Richardson went 2-for-5 for UCF (32-19, 9-11), and Erik Hempe was 3-for-5 with four RBIs. Hempe hit a grand slam later in the 10th inning to make it 9-0.

Dallas Baptist 7, Alcorn State 3

Austin Elkins went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Jason Krizan had two hits and scored two runs as Dallas Baptist (37-15) completed a three-game sweep of Alcorn State (22-27).

Jann Butler went 3-for-5 and Brandon Hollins had two hits for Alcorn State, which jumped out to an early 2-0 lead but couldn’t hold it.
