Texas A&M baseball is through to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament.

The Aggies came back from an early deficit to beat No. 3-seeded LSU 5-4 on Friday afternoon. Texas A&M will now advance to the semifinals against Arkansas on Saturday.

The hero for Texas A&M was leadoff hitter Hunter Haas, who hit a 3-run home run in the 7th inning to put Texas A&M on top. The Aggies scored 4 runs in that frame, which was enough to secure the win.

Here’s Haas’ home run:

Will Johnston delivered a quality start for the Aggies on the mound. He gave up 8 hits, 3 runs and struck out 7 batters across 6 innings of work.

Evan Aschenbeck pitched the final 3 innings in relief. He gave up 4 hits and walked 1 batter, but surrendered just 1 run. He also got the final 2 outs of the ball game with the tying runner standing on third base.

Texas A&M now moves on to the semifinals as it looks to continue its run in the SEC Tournament. The Aggies entered this week as the No. 10 seed, but are now just 2 wins away from an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.

First pitch between Texas A&M and Arkansas will be at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be broadcast on SEC Network.
