Watch LSU baseball outfielder Tre Morgan make ridiculous diving catch in SEC Tournament
HOOVER, Ala. – Tre Morgan didn't make it easy, but he still got the job done.
Morgan, LSU baseball's left fielder against Texas A&M in the SEC Tournament, didn't need to twist and turn as many times as he did in the third inning on Friday. But there he was, diving for a fly ball at the warning track with the score tied at one.

Nevertheless, it was a spectacular catch. Morgan dove to his right at the last possible second, fully laying out and snatching the ball inches away from the ground.

With a win on Friday, LSU will keep its SEC Tournament hopes alive and face Arkansas in the semifinals on Saturday (Noon, SEC Network).
