Vanderbilt baseball won its second SEC tournament title in three years with a 3-2 victory over Ole Miss at the Hoover Met on May 25. No. 4 seed Vanderbilt (42-16) took an early lead in the first inning on a two-run Brodie Johnston home run and added on another run in the fifth on a solo home run by Jacob Humphrey.

The outcome of Ole Miss and Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference Championship game was not decided until the last out was recorded Sunday aft

Vanderbilt was riding high from a blowout 10-0 victory over rival No. 8 Tennessee in the semifinals after the Volunteers eliminated top-seeded Texas in the quarterfinals. Ole Miss had plenty of momentum as well, though, as it defeated second-seeded Arkansas in the quarterfinals and third-seeded LSU in the semifinals.
