Tennessee softball live score updates vs LSU in SEC Tournament after 7-hour weather delay

Tennessee softball is going for the sweep again this season.

The Lady Vols won their second straight SEC regular-season championship for the first time last weekend. They swept the SEC titles last year, also for the first time, and they have a chance to sweep the titles in back-to-back seasons for the third time in conference history. LSU and Florida are the only two teams to accomplish the feat.

No. 1 seed Tennessee (40-9) kicks off the SEC Tournament against No. 8 seed LSU (39-14) at Jane B. Moore Field in Auburn, Alabama on Thursday (6 p.m. ET, SEC Network). UT won the series against LSU at home this season, only dropping one game 1-0 against the Tigers.

The Lady Vols completed the sweep of Kentucky to end the regular season with a walk-off win in the eighth inning Saturday. They have now recorded their 21st consecutive full season with 40 or more wins going into the postseason.
