Another unbelievable game from the Tigers. Up 9 to 4 in the top of the ninth - relief pitchers falter again today. The Roadrunners score five to get a tie. Tigers fail to score in the bottom of the ninth.
In the top of the 10 the Roadrunners score three more times. International rule was being used for the extra inning game by putting a runner on second to start the inning. Tigers get a 2 run dinger and follow with a solo shot to send the game into the the llth inning. LSU shuts down the Roadrunners and get the winning run on a base hit by Gavin Dugas.
Two days in a row - relief pitching sucks and the bats of the young Tigers pull it out.
Geaux Tigers.

On the flip side - the starting pitching only gave up two runs in the three games.

LSU take an early lead over SE Louisiana - 4to 0 in the top of the third. Tigers get four runs in the first inning - big hit was a 3 run dinger. Big surprise is that LSU lead the nation in HR's - 34 with the one tonight.

Relief pitching still questionable for the Tigers - but they lead in the top of the 7th 10 to 7.

Devin Fontenot pitched an outstanding in the top of the 8th - three up and three down with two K's. The Tigers need him to perform like he did the last two seasons. That was his best inning of the year. He looked like the old Devin tonight.

LSU gets their 15th win of the year - 15-3.
SEC play begins this weekend and LSU will host Miss St. SEC has a bunch of good teams this year - should be an exciting year.

Yeah we get Vandy this weekend. We might get swept if we don’t figure out our situational hitting.

What's happened to Wes Clarke? He seems to have slowed down after the tremendous start.

Texas A&M and Florida kick off the SEC baseball season tonight. Florida the preseason pick not only for the SEC but for the nation hasn't had the start that was expected of them. See if they start the SEC season with a series win?

Mississippi State pitching overwhelmed the Tigers and handed LSU a 6 to 1 defeat. Jaden Hill pitched well for four innings, but Miss State had a two run dinger in the 5th and those two were enough, but State added 4 more runs.
On to Saturday's game.

Miss St gets the series win as they shut out the Tigers tonight 3 to 0. State has some outstanding pitchers. They are set to make a deep run this year if their pitching continues to dominate.

What's happened to Wes Clarke? He seems to have slowed down after the tremendous start. I heard he hurt himself in practice and was having wrist pain upon contact, don’t know if that’s the case or not. We went 1-2 vs Vandy on the road. Not exactly what we wanted but pretty predictable.

Miss State had the broom out but LSU got the win 8 to 3 to avoid being swept. I believe the SEC will be up for grabs by a few teams this year. Should be an exciting SEC season and a great tournament. If the Tigers are fortune enough to punch a ticket to Omaha - I might make another trip. That is a trip that qualifies as a bucket list item - especially if you enjoy college baseball.
I don't know how covid will affect the college world series concerning the fans in the stands policy.

Vandy has two top MLB draft picks in Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter. Probably top five. Those guys are almost impossible to get hits when they are on the mound. Leiter has an 0.31 era and Rocker an 0.58. So I am guessing that the Gamecocks won game 3.

Ive been following SEC Baseball for a long time and, although they conference is tough every year, I do not recall a year with so much talent across the board. The Conf pitching this year is unbelievable. Vandy has the two best front line starters in the Country. Leiter threw a no hitter on Saturday, striking out 16 and his last pitch in the 9th was 97mph. Would have been a perfect game but he walked the first batter. Kumar threw 8 innings on Friday, striking out 14.

Can’t miss those opportunities and expect to beat Vandy in a series. I will say our pitching staff performed pretty well and struck out more batters over the series than Vandys. They had the better starters and USC had the better bullpen.

What a game 1! USC came from down 7-4 to tie it up and force extras. They end winning 9-8 in 14 innings. Love conference baseball...if we can get one more off UF I’d be really happy with a split between our first two series vs UF and Vandy.

South Carolina beats UF 4-1 to take the series. Man, sure would be something to sweep UF but gotta figure they will come out with some fire tomorrow.

South Carolina sweeps Florida with the 8-5 win today. I’ll take 4-2 vs UF and Vandy. That was a great sweep this weekend for USC. TN sweeps LSU, Ole Miss sweeps Bama, and Arky sweeps MSU. Going to be a long season for LSU. Solid Front line pitching, no bullpen, and very young hitters who are getting a dose of what its like to hit SEC pitching. They welcome Vandy to Baton Rouge this weekend. Kumar (6-0) and Leiter (6-0) should continue to Feast. In Leiters last 16 SEC innings he given up no hits and Struck Out 26.

We get UGA so need a series win (or sweep) for this one. The top of the SEC is so good, you gotta beat up on the second tier teams or you'll fall behind really quickly. It's good to see Wes Clarke back as he hit three home runs vs UF this weekend. If our starters can go 5-6 innings consistently, our bullpen has been pretty good at shutting teams down in the later innings.
