LSU captures SEC tourney, school record

(AP) — The LSU Tigers once seemed a longshot to even make the Southeastern Conference tournament, and were snubbed when the postseason honors came out. They're hard to ignore now. Tournament MVP Blake Dean hit a two-run homer and the Tigers scored the final seven runs to beat Mississippi 8-2 on Sunday, win a school-record 20th game in a row and claim their first SEC tournament title since 2000.

LSU (43-16-1), which took the lead with a five-run fifth, matched Vanderbilt (2007) and South Carolina (2000) for the second-longest winning streak in SEC history. al.com 5/26/08
