7th Inning Collapse Dooms LSU vs Bethune-Cookman
David Billiot Jr • April 9, 2026
Bethune-Cookman - 10, LSU - 7
Tuesday Night Recap
Just when things seemed to be getting back on the right track for LSU, a Tuesday night to the inferior Bethune-Cookman Wildcats caused the Tigers to start wobbling, yet again. It was a solid, back and forth baseball game between the teams for the first 6 innings of the game, but a 7th inning meltdown on both sides of the ball would lead to yet another midweek loss. The collapse started with pitching, which outside of a few arms, struggled for most of the night. Earlier in the game, it was the Wildcats simply hitting the ball around Alex Box, but towards the end, the free passes started to pile up for the Tigers. Although a freshman closed out the night strong, it was too little, too late.
The offense missed plenty of opportunities, leaving 15 runners on base on Tuesday night. Hot off the heels of a 16-run, 19-hit performance that included 7 homeruns against Tennessee on Sunday, LSU’s offense fell right back in to their routine of not making the most of opportunities. That was never more apparent than the 7th inning. After a 5-run inning gave Bethune-Cookman a 10-6 lead, the Tigers immediately loaded the bases with no one out and threatened to keep the blow for blow battle going. With the top of the lineup coming to the plate with the chance to do some serious damage, Steven Milam, Jake Brown, and John Pearson struck out back to back to back to take all of the air out of another potential comeback.
Pitching
Marcos Paz got the start on the mound and from the looks of the 1st inning, seemed on his way to the best outing of his freshman campaign. He went 3-up, 3-down on just 5 pitches and the Tigers were coming up to bat before everyone had a chance to get settled in their seats. But, that all changed in the 2nd when the Wildcats singled three straight times to put their first run on the board. It was three hard hits, too. Some of Paz’s issues this year have revolved around throwing strikes, but that wasn’t the case. Bethune-Cookman simply hit him and for that, they deserve credit.
- Final line: 1.0 IP / 3 hits / 2 runs / 0 Ks / 0 BBs / 15 pitches (9 strikes, 60%)
Connor Benge was first out of the bullpen on the heels of a few solid outings recently. As he often does, he was put in to try and extinguish the fire. With runners on 1st and 3rd and no outs, Benge quickly received some defensive help from Knoxville hero Cade Arrambide, who gunned down the runner from 1st base trying to steal. An RBI single would bring the runner home from 3rd, tying the score at 2-2. A strikeout got Benge close to escaping the inning, but a groundball right back to him on the mound glanced off of his glove and although he had plenty enough time to recover and make the throw, he got panicky and rushed it and was able to make the play that would have ended the inning. That’s where Jay Johnson would come out to make another pitching change, but despite the fumble at the end, Benge was pretty solid.
- Final line: 0.2 IP / 2 hits / 1 run / 1 K / 0 BBs / 10 pitches (7 strikes, 70%)
Cooper Williams entered for a left on left matchup, but promptly allowed a double that would give the Wildcats their first lead at 3-2. LSU finally got out of the inning with a groundout to Steven Milam. Williams did not return.
- Final line: 0.1 IP / 1 hit / 0 runs / 0 Ks / 0 BBs / 6 pitches (5 strikes, 83%)
To start the 3rd inning, Zion Theophilus took the mound. The freshman was pretty good, quickly recording a 1-2-3 frame. He returned for the 4th and despite recording his second strikeout, followed by a groundout back to the mound, a 2-out solo homerun put the only blemish on his line. Theophilus immediately bounced back to record his third strikeout to end his outing.
- Final line: 2.0 IP / 1 hit / 1 run / 3 Ks / 0 BBs / 32 pitches (21 strikes, 66%)
Santiago Garcia entered to start the 5th and was very good outside of a few pitches. He hit the first batter of the inning and then made an errant throw on a pickoff that allowed the runner to move to 2nd base. He’d get a strikeout, but a 1-out double would allow Bethune-Cookman to re-tie the game at 5-5. The lefty then struck out the next two hitters to end the inning. Garcia’s 6th inning was by far his best, though. After drawing a groundout to Milam to start it off, he struck out the final two Wildcats for the second straight frame. He returned for the 7th, but that’s where it appeared as if fatigue became a factor. Despite a first batter pop out, a triple off of the leftfield wall, followed by a single would make the score 6-6 and end his night. His line reads worse than what he actually threw, but maybe he stayed in just a little too long.
- Final line: 2.1 IP / 3 hits / 3 runs / 5 Ks / 0 BBs / 46 pitches (29 strikes, 63%)
Danny Lachenmayer has recently become a lefty on lefty matchup specialist and had been doing a very good job of executing going back to the Kentucky series. He did so on Friday night against Tennessee, as well. But after his Sunday appearance vs the Vols ended after just 2 pitches when he hit his batter, this one only lasted 1 pitch. Again, he hit the batter and that was all for Lachenmayer.
- Final line: 0.0 IP / 0 hits / 0 runs / 0 Ks / 0 BBs / 1 HBP (1 pitch)
With runners on 1st and 2nd and 1 out in the 7th, Mavrick Rizy entered and this is when things started to go terribly wrong for the Tigers. After hitting his first batter while ahead in the count 1-2, the big sophomore recorded a flyout to shallow right field where Jake Brown was able to get the ball to home plate quickly and prevent any potential sacrifice fly. Now just an out away from going to the bottom of the 7th in a tied game, Rizy walked the next two hitters to bring in 2 runs for Bethune-Cookman and make it an 8-6 game, which would end his night. Rizy has been very underwhelming recently, which is tough for LSU, considering he’s the guy Jay likes to run out there the most. He led the team in appearances in 2025 and currently leads them in appearances this season, so he will need to sharpen up soon.
- Final line: 0.1 IP / 0 hits / 2 runs / 0 Ks / 2 BBs / 1 HBP / 19 pitches (8 strikes, 42%)
Dax Dathe has been seldom-used the past few weeks, but came in with a huge opportunity to prevent further damage. He only threw one pitch and did his job, inducing a ground ball to Seth Dardar at 2nd base, but a tough hop led an E-4 and two more runs scored to make it 10-6. Jay would then turn to his final pitcher of the night.
- Final line: 0.0 IP / 0 hits / 0 runs / 0 Ks / 0 BBs / 1 pitch (1 strike)
Reagan Ricken was pitcher #9 of the night and the final one that would step on the mound. With 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd, the freshman recorded a strikeout looking to end the disaster of an inning for the Tigers. Two quick outs would kick off the 8th, but he found himself in a tad of trouble after hitting a batter and then giving up an infield single on a ball that John Pearson was unable to get to. That didn’t phase Ricken, though, as he recorded a groundout to Milam to prevent the LSU deficit from growing. A leadoff single would start the 9th, followed by a sacrifice bunt to move the potential insurance run to 2nd base with just 1 out. Another strikeout looking and a groundout to new second baseman Tanner Reaves would end the inning and get LSU back to the dugout needing 4 runs to extend the game.
- Final line: 2.1 IP / 2 hits / 0 runs / 2 Ks / 0 BBs / 1 HBP / 38 pitches (26 strikes, 64%)
Hitting
Cade Arrambide stayed hot on Tuesday night, following his legendary 4 homerun performance on Sunday. Although all three of his hits stayed in the park, one came about a foot away from flying over the wall in dead center, resulting in a double. Arrambide finished 3-5 with an RBI, but even one of his outs was a hard line drive right at the third baseman. He caught on Tuesday night, so it will be interesting to see how Jay Johnson chooses to deploy Arrambide this weekend, assuming Omar Serna is healthy enough to return, which is expected.
After a 7-14 weekend in Knoxville, Derek Curiel recorded his fourth straight multi-hit performance by going 3-6. He drove in 2 RBI and also scored once. He came to the plate with LSU having drawn closer at 10-7, representing the tying run with 2 outs in the 9th. He hit another ball hard on the ground and seemed to have yet another hit and extend the game, but Bethune-Cookman had him shifted up the middle and the shortstop was in perfect position to make the play and prevent any comeback. Curiel has looked like the Freshman of the Year that he was in 2025, now taking the team lead in batting average with Jake Brown slowly coming back down to Earth.
Speaking of Jake Brown, he bounced back from a subpar weekend by hitting his 13th homerun of the season on Tuesday night. He finished 2-4 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored, while also drawing 2 walks.
Following a fantastic performance when desperately needed on Sunday, Eddie Yamin earned a much-deserved start on Tuesday night. He continued to do what he does best and that is get on base…a lot. Yamin finished 1-2 with a run scored, but also walked and was hit twice, on his way to a .800 on base percentage vs the Wildcats.
Mason Braun made his first start of the season at 1st base and held his own. His only blemish was allowing Garcia’s pickoff attempt to sneak by him, but played well aside from that. At the plate, Braun went 1-3 and scored a run, but also reached base two other times with a walk and hit by pitch.
Up Next
LSU fell to 22-12 with Tuesday’s loss, marking their fifth quadrant 4 RPI loss of the season. For those that don’t follow that metric, that’s not good for their resume. It was also their fourth midweek loss of the season and we are just reaching the halfway point of conference play. The Tigers will now look to bounce back over the weekend as they travel to Oxford for a series against Ole Miss. Game 1 will start on Friday with a 6:30 first pitch. Games 2 and 3 will follow with first pitches of 4 pm and 1:30 pm central on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Ole Miss enters one game better with an overall record of 23-11, but one game behind LSU in SEC standings with a record of 5-7.

A quick share helps us a lot!
Friday Evening Recap For the third consecutive game, the LSU Tigers decided to be the Cardiac Cats. That’s nothing new for an LSU baseball team, but considering the struggles of this team in 2026, the mid-game deficits have seemed scarier than normal. Tennessee’s new Friday night ace Landon Mack was phenomenal and he had the Tiger offense in a pretzel. Through 7 innings, he struck out 10 and was mowing LSU hitters down. They only mustered together 3 hits, one of which was a Jake Brown solo homerun, representing the only damage Mack allowed. He finished his outing by retiring 14 straight hitters, which makes Josh Elander’s decision to not send him back out in the 8th inning with 96 pitches that much more confusing. He was showing no signs of slowing down. Hindsight is 20/20, though, and the Tigers went full-on attack mode with the Volunteer bullpen. A 5-run 8th inning flipped the game on it’s head and LSU never looked back. Coming off of his strange outing vs Kentucky, Casan Evans was pretty good from the very beginning. It was two pitches and two swings that resulted in the only damage that he sustained. Both were mistake pitches that were left in hittable spots and Tennessee hitters deserve credit for taking advantage of them. Aside from that, Evans was very good, despite not making it through the 6th inning. There was some shakiness in the 7th from the bullpen, but Santiago Garcia ended up receiving the win to bring his record to 1-0. Deven Sheerin’s second save of the season closed out a massive victory on the road in Knoxville, as the Tigers took game 1 by a final score of 7-5. Pitching Casan Evans got off to a great start in the 1st. Despite a 2-out single to the open part of the field due to the shift, he struck out two for a pretty easy inning. A leadoff single in the 2nd was quickly erased by a 6-4-3 double play turned by Steven Milam and Seth Dardar. Another groundout to Milam would retire the side in order. Tennessee made their first dent in the 3rd when Levi Clark hit a belly-high fastball out to left-center to tie the game at 1-1. Evans would retire the next two hitters to end the inning. The 4th is where he would find the most trouble. After a flyout to start the inning, the Vols would get a bloop single, followed by a Reese Chapman bomb to right-center field to give them their first lead of the game. Another deep flyout and a strikeout would end the inning there. Evans walked the leadoff hitter in the 5th, but then struck out three in a row to prevent any further damage. The Friday night ace would see the end of his night in the 6th after a walk and single put two runners on with 1 out in the 6th. He hung in to get a lineout, but with 2 outs, Jay Johnson would walk out to make the change. Final line: 5.2 IP / 6 hits / 3 runs / 6 Ks / 2 BBs / 90 pitches (62 strikes, 69%) Danny Lachenmayer was called upon for the third time in the last four SEC games, showing the inflated level of trust that the coaching staff has found in him. He came in to face a lefty Tyler Myatt and struck him out on 4 pitches to do his job. Final line: 0.1 IP / 0 hits / 0 runs / 1 K / 0 BBs / 4 pitches (3 strikes, 75%) Mavrick Rizy entered to start the 7th and was in the strike zone immediately, recording a 4-pitch strikeout, but then lost it and walked the next hitter on 5 pitches. A jam shot would roll right in to no man’s land with Dardar playing up the middle, putting runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Omar Serna would get charged with an inexcusable passed ball to allow both runners to move up. Rizy came through with a massive strikeout with the infield drawn in, but then allowed another walk after a 2-2 count to load the bases. Final line: 0.2 IP / 1 hit / 1 run / 2 Ks / 2 BBs / 24 pitches (11 strikes, 46%) Jay would call upon Santiago Garcia with 2 outs and bases loaded and left-handed hitting Blake Grimmer coming to the plate. Four straight balls would walk in a run to extend Tennessee’s lead to 4-1. Garcia was able to find the zone against Chapman, striking him out to prevent further damage. Final line: 0.1 IP / 0 hits / 0 runs / 1 K / 1 BB / 10 pitches (4 strikes, 40%) A 5-run 8th inning for LSU took them from down by 3 runs to up by 2, Jay turned to Deven Sheerin to try and get the final 6 outs of game. He recorded back to back flyouts to Chris Stanfield to start the inning, but even those were nerve=racking as he temporarily lost both in the sunsetting sky. A single and a walk put the tying run on base with 2 outs, but the junior got his first strikeout and let out a primal yell afterwards. After Stanfield added an insurance run in the top of the 9th, Sheerin returned in the 9th to close out the game. Despite a 2-out solo homerun to make it 7-5, he struck out the side with two of them looking to slam the door and record his second save of the season. Final line: 2.0 IP / 2 hits / 1 run / 4 Ks / 1 BB / 41 pitches (28 strikes, 68%) Hitting Derek Curiel’s 8th inning grand slam was, to no one’s surprise, was the Magic Moment of the game. Just when it looked as if LSU was going to waste a huge opportunity, the star sophomore did what stars do and changed the game with his one swing. He also singled earlier in the game and was the only Tiger to record multiple hits tonight. Curiel finished 2-4 with the 4 RBI and scored that one time. Chris Stanfield hit his second homerun of the game to add insurance in the 9th, but that was not his biggest at bat of the night. He was up second in the 8th and after Mason Braun drew a walk to lead off the inning, the senior outfielder laid off a few good breaking balls to draw the second walk of the inning, which eventually led the bases. Not many players could have held back from chasing all of those pitches and that game would have been completely different if he struck out in that moment. Stanfield finished 1-3 with the homerun, walk, RBI on the homerun, and also scored twice. Jake Brown and Seth Dardar both finished with identical lines. They went 1-4 with solo homeruns. Brown hit his in the 3rd inning to start the scoring for either team. Dardar’s came immediately following Curiel’s grand slam for back to back blasts. His actually ended up being the difference in the game, as it made the score 6-4, because Tennessee hit the solo homerun in the 9th for their fifth run. Although he went hitless, Mason Braun deserves to be noted for 2 walks. He finished 0-2 and also struck out twice, but one of the walks was the only one that Landon Mack allowed and the other was to lead off the big game-changing 8th inning. Up Next LSU and Tennessee will return tomorrow evening for game 2. First pitch is for 5 pm central, as the Tigers look to follow up their first SEC series win with their first road SEC series win of 2026. With today’s win, LSU is now 21-10 overall and back to .500 with a 5-5 conference record. Tennessee drops to 19-11 overall with a disappointing SEC record of 3-7. William Schmidt (4-1) will take the mound for the Tigers to make his second consecutive game 2 start. He is coming off of the win vs Kentucky in which he threw 5.1 scoreless innings. The Volunteers will answer with Tegan Kuhns, who had been their Friday night ace up until last weekend. The potential 1st round pick in this July’s draft has not had the season he expected, but is still very talented. He’s off to a 1-3 start in 2026 with his 4.08 ERA. Although he’s struck out 46 hitters in 35.1 innings pitched, he’s allowed 34 hits. LSU would love to strike first, as the trajectory of Tennessee’s early conference season is in a tailspin at this current moment. If the Tigers can come out hot, they will put a lot of pressure on the Volunteers. Follow me on X for much more @DCBilliotJr
Sunday Afternoon Recap LSU had to have it. They had to have this series, which meant they had to have this game. Putting themselves directly behind the 8-ball with a loss on Friday night set up an uphill battle. An uphill battle that appeared to be too tall to climb after a disastrous start to the game on Sunday. Since the postgame on Friday night, we had been saying that the importance of Casan Evans battling through 6 innings in game 1 would truly have. In their first weekend without Cooper Moore, the Tiger pitching staff was going to be challenged. The performances of William Schmidt and Zac Cowan in game 2 put them in about as good of a position as they could have hoped for, which allowed Jay Johnson to call upon Gavin Guidry to start on Sunday. There is no one on the roster that is trusted more by Jay, so it was no surprise to see his name listed as starting pitcher about 90 minutes before first pitch. It was surprising just how much Guidry struggled, though. Control was an issue from the very first pitch. It wasn’t much better for a few guys that came after him, either, putting LSU in a deep hole. The pitching rapidly improved with Deven Sheerin and the stabilization on the mound allowed the offense to get to work and complete the comeback. Following a horrid game on Friday night, the Tiger lineup showed signs of life yesterday in game 2. Despite only scoring in 3 innings, they put up crooked numbers in each of them and that was a step in the right direction. Well, today was a gigantic leap in the right direction, because the offense went crazy. Jay described the performance of his team after the game as “zero quit”. After just one hit in the first time through the order, they picked things up in a hurry during the second trip through. Once they got going, there was no slowing them down. LSU scored in 5 of their final 6 at bats, with three of those times being 4+ runs. It was big swing after big swing, something we have rarely seen this year. Time will tell if this was truly the breakout game that they had been looking for or just an anomaly, but either way, they showed up when they were needed the most. Pitching It could not have been a worse start for Gavin Guidry. Needing as much length as you can possibly get from every pitcher that stepped on the mound today, a 39 pitch 1st inning was less than ideal. After an infield single to start the game, followed by a stolen base, he recorded a flyout for the first out. Guidry then issued three straight free passes to give Kentucky their first run since Friday night. A strikeout and an 0-2 pitch count would get him just one pitch away from escaping with minimal damage, but he’d lose him to give up his 3rd walk and bring in another run. A wild pitch would make it 3-0 before Guidry recorded a strikeout to finally get out of the 1st. Jay sent him back out for the 2nd, but it wasn’t much better. He recorded a flyout to start the inning, but then the hit barrage from the Wildcat bats got started. Guidry gave up a single, double, and then a walk, and was out of the game with the score 4-0. Final line: 1.1 IP / 3 hits / 6 runs / 2 Ks / 4 BBs / 48 pitches (24 strikes, 50%) Santiago Garcia took over after Guidry and immediately gave up a base-clearing double that made the score 6-0. He fought back for a flyout and a groundout, but the Tigers were already in deep trouble. Back for the 3rd, Garcia would walk the leadoff hitter and then LSU nearly turned a rare double play that doesn’t involve Steven Milam, but Zach Yorke was unable to scoop Seth Dardar’s low throw. A 4-pitch walk would be the end of the junior LHP’s day. Final line: 1.0 IP / 1 hit / 1 run / 0 Ks / 1 BB / 20 pitches (7 strikes, 35%) Connor Benge entered with runners on 1st and 2nd and 1 out, coming off of a good outing on Tuesday where he put out a fire. His job got even tougher after a passed ball on Omar Serna allowed both runners to move up, which set up a sacrifice flyout to centerfield to make it 7-0 and that would be all for Benge. Final line: 0.1 IP / 0 hits / 0 runs / 0 Ks / 0 BBs / 5 pitches (2 strikes, 40%) Cooper Williams took over and was able to end the inning with a lineout. He returned in the 4th for another good inning. Despite a 1-out walk, the lefty struck out Kentucky’s 3 and 5-hole hitters, along with a nice defensive play by John Pearson on a slow roller. Final line: 1.1 IP / 0 hits / 0 runs / 2 Ks / 1 BB / 23 pitches (13 strikes, 57%) After a fantastic outing by Mavrick Rizy on Friday where he threw 80% strikes, it was the opposite story today. He struggled from the very beginning and walked two of Kentucky’s worst hitters in their lineup, as per batting average. Their 7-hole hitter Will Marcy came in with a .200 average, while 9-hole hitter Carson Hansen was at .227 and Rizy walked them both with a strikeout between them. Following the second walk, his day was over. Final line: 0.1 IP / 0 hits / 2 runs / 1 K / 2 BBs / 18 pitches (8 strikes, 44%) Jay had to call upon Deven Sheerin far earlier he would have liked, especially considering that was the last of his “top” arms that was completely fresh for the weekend. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and only 1 out, Sheerin was being asked to come through in a huge spot with the Tigers having closed their deficit to 7-6. With the infield drawn in, Steven Milam took a ground ball and fired home to nab a potential run for out number to. Sheerin then had the next hitter down 0-2, but was struggling to finish him off with four straight foul-offs. Luke Lawrence eventually slapped a ball the other way off of the left field wall to drive in both runs. Bell followed with an RBI single and just like that, LSU was back down 10-6. From that point on, the big righty was nails. Sheerin struck out three in a row going in to the 6th, which ended up being the first 1-2-3 inning of the day for the Wildcats. After recording two outs to start the 7th, which made for 6 retired in a row, he hit a batter and that would be the end of the day. His ability to battle past the early hiccups played a massive role in bridging the gap to the end of the game for the bullpen. Sheerin earned the win to extend his record to 3-0. Final line: 2.1 IP / 2 hits / 1 run / 3 Ks / 1 BB / 1 HBP / 50 pitches (35 strikes, 70%) Danny Lachenmayer entered with two outs in the 7th for what was his second appearance of the weekend. This one was the biggest spot he has been in as a Tiger, though, and he delivered. He recorded a flyout to end the threat and preserve the 11-10 lead that LSU had just taken. He returned for the 8th, but gave up a base hit with to the open part of the field with the infield shifted. Final line: 0.1 IP / 1 hit / 0 runs / 0 Ks / 0 BBs / 5 pitches (3 strikes, 60%) Grant Fontenot entered and despite his shaky performance on Tuesday, he has been pretty good for the past month. After recording a flyout, he initiated a 4-6-3 double play that was beautifully turned between Dardar and Milam. Back in the 9th and now pitching with a 7-run lead, Fontenot cruised. Despite a 1-out single, he struck out two, including the final hitter of the game to clinch the game and LSU’s first SEC series win of the season. Final line: 2.0 IP / 1 hit / 0 runs / 2 Ks / 0 BBs / 22 pitches (15 strikes, 68%) Hitting Set h Dardar was not only the offensive MVP of the day, but he was the best player at the plate for LSU all weekend. Today, his 6th inning 3-run homerun on to the roof of the Marucci hitting facility gave the Tigers their first lead after they fell behind 7-0 after the top of the 3rd. That wasn’t all for Dardar, as he also doubled and finished 3-5 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored. His defense was impeccable all weekend. Jay has been searching for someone to take over the second base position and, as of now, the local kid has done just that. The other giant swing of the day belonged to John Pearson. A 2-out grand slam in the 3rd brought the Tiger back to within just 2 runs and brought both LSU and Alex Box Stadium back to life. Speaking of players taking control of positions, the sophomore has done just that at 3rd base. He has also shown big strides of improvement defensively, garnering praise from Jay after the game. Pearson finished 1-4 with the 4 RBI and a run scored, while also walking once. Derek Curiel had himself a huge day and was a part of every single big inning. He scored 3 runs and those came in the 3rd when LSU closed the deficit, in the 6th when they took the lead, and then in the 8th when they extended it way out of reach. He hit his second homerun of the year, a beautifully struck backside blast on a pitch that was on the outer half of the plate. Curiel finished 3-5 with 3 RBI, the 3 runs scored, and a walk. It wasn’t his first time leading off this season, but Chris Stanfield has not been in that position very much. Today, he may have shown why he should stay there. The senior went 4-5 and also drew a walk. He doubled and had two opposite field singles. One of those was immediately following when he fouled a ball right off of his knee and went down to the ground in major pain. Jay told us after the game that when he went out to check on his leader, Stanfield looked at him and said that he was ok and was going to come through. He did just that, lining a base hit to right field and driving in a run. He also walked and scored twice. Jake Brown didn’t drive in a single one of LSU’s 17 runs and the importance of that can not be overstated. I have mentioned multiple times in the past week that it is imperative that other players step up, because opposing teams are not going to allow Brown to beat them. Why would they? Pitchers have not given him much to hit and he’s had to work with what he’s given in many of these games. Despite the “quiet” day by his standards, Brown finished 2-5 with a couple of singles and scored 3 runs. Zach Yorke may not have driven in a ton of runs, either, but he was very active by getting on base four times. He finished 1-3, but he drew 3 walks and scored twice. Up Next LSU will stay home and welcome Southern for a midweek matchup on Tuesday. First pitch is for 6:30 pm central. The Tigers improved to 19-10 (4-5 SEC) with the win today. The Jaguars will come to Alex Box with a record of 10-16. They took 2 of 3 in a series with Prairie View A&M at home this weekend. Their common opponents with LSU include both Grambling, who Southern beat, and two games with McNeese, in which they split. Follow me on X for much more @DCBilliotJr
