LSU ends USC's season
HOOVER, Ala. - Josh Smith homered and scored three times as No. 5 seed LSU erased an early 4-run deficit and defeated No. 12 seed South Carolina 8-6 in a Southeastern Conference Tournament game that ended early on Wednesday.
LSU (35-22) was scheduled to face No. 4 seed Mississippi State (45-11) on Wednesday in the first day of double-elimination competition.
South Carolina ended its season with a 28-28 record.
South Carolina scored five runs in the second inning off LSU starter Cole Henry to grab a 5-1 lead. LSU answered with two runs in the bottom of the second, three in the fourth and two in the fifth.
Devin Fontenot (5-1) pitched 4 innings of shutout relief and Cade Beloso went 3 of 4 and drove in three runs for LSU. Todd Peterson gave up one run in 2 innings to earn his third save.
South Carolina's Parker Coyne (2-1) allowed four runs in 1 2/3 innings.
BC upsets top seed Louisville
DURHAM, N.C. - Dan Metzdorf threw a three-hitter, Jake Alu drove in three runs and Boston College beat top-seeded Louisville 5-1 on Wednesday to earn a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament semifinals.
The 12th-seeded Eagles (31-26) won twice in two days to advance from their three-team round-robin pool into Saturday's semifinals. BC beat eighth-seeded Clemson 7-5 a day earlier before stunning the Cardinals (43-14).
Metzdorf (8-2) struck out seven with four walks and allowed only one extra-base hit during his first career complete game. He got plenty of offensive support from Alu, who had a two-run single in the fourth inning and an RBI double in the eighth.
Gian Martinelli and Joe Suozzi had run-scoring singles during a two-run seventh after the Cardinals closed to 2-1 on Logan Wyatt's RBI groundout.
Louisville has the tournament's top seed for the third time in five years, but has yet to win the championship.
Stewart, Gibbs, Labonte elected to NASCAR Hall
CHARLOTTE - Tony Stewart headlines a Joe Gibbs Racing trio that has been elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The three-time Cup Series champion will be inducted alongside car owner Joe Gibbs and former teammate Bobby Labonte. Driver Buddy Baker and mechanic Waddell Wilson were also voted in Wednesday.
Stewart won 49 Cup Series races during his 17-year NASCAR career, including championships in 2002 and 2005 driving for Gibbs and another in 2011 with Stewart-Haas Racing. He won another championship as an owner in 2014 with driver Kevin Harvick.
Labonte won the Cup Series title in 2000, giving Gibbs the first of his four championships at NASCAR's highest level.
Gibbs, the Super Bowl-winning former coach of the Washington Redskins and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, won his most recent owner championship in 2015 with Kyle Busch behind the wheel.
Giants beat Braves
SAN FRANCISCO - Joe Panik was fairly calm in the midst of his eight-pitch battle with Atlanta closer Luke Jackson. A pair of stolen bases earlier in the ninth inning, including one by pinch-runner Mac Williamson that put the winning run in scoring position, helped take the pressure off the Giants leadoff hitter.
Panik hit a game-ending two-run single off Jackson with two outs in the ninth to lift the San Francisco Giants to a 4-3 win over the Braves on Tuesday.
