Another day, another rain delay. After winning the first two games of the series, LSU baseball secured the series win against Mississippi State. The Tigers completed the sweep on Saturday night with a 17-8 win.
In the bottom of the first inning, LSU put up eight runs to jump out to a huge lead early. Jared Jones hit a two-run homer, Ethan Frey hit a two-RBI single, Chris Stanfield hit an RBI single, Derek Curiel hit an RBI single, and Jones hit an RBI single to give LSU an 8-0 lead.
In the top of the second inning, Mississippi State was able to get half of those runs back as they scored four runs on a solo homer and a three-RBI double against Chase Shores to cut the lead to 8-4. In the bottom of the second inning, Jake Brown hit an RBI single to increase the Tigers lead to 9-4.
In the top of the fifth inning, Conner Ware entered to pitch for the Tigers. Shores day was done after four innings of work where he allowed four runs on five hits, five strikeouts, and two walks. In the bottom of the fifth, Danny Dickinson hit a two-RBI double to make the lead 11-4 LSU. After one inning on the mound, Ware was replaced by Mavrick Rizy. Rizy gave up a run on a sacrifice fly to make it 11-5 Tigers heading to the bottom of the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Brown was able to steal home to extend the lead to 13-5 LSU. DJ Primeaux then entered to pitch for LSU. It the top of the seventh inning, Mississippi State scored three runs. Two of the runs were charged to Primeaux and one was charged to Connor Benge.
That cut the lead to 13-8. In the bottom of the seventh, Steven Milam hit a sacrifice fly to score a run and increase the lead to 14-8. In the top of the eighth, Cooper Williams entered to pitch for the Tigers. After hitting the first batter he faced, Jaden Noot entered to pitch.
After giving up a single, Noot got a flyout and a double play to get the Tigers out of the inning unscathed. In the bottom of the eighth, Luis Hernandez hit a solo shot to extend the Tigers lead to 15-8. LSU would then load the bases with one out, leading to a pitching change for the Bulldogs. Dickinson would then hit an RBI single to make it 16-8. Milam hit another sacrifice fly to make it 17-8 as we headed to the ninth inning.
When the top of the ninth inning started at 1:38 AM, like most LSU fans, I was fighting sleep as much as I could. Noot remained on the mound to attempt to close out the win. He retired the Bulldogs with two strikeouts and a flyout to end the game. With the win, LSU moves to 26-3 overall and 7-2 in conference play. The Tigers will be back in action when they take on Louisiana Tech on Tuesday night at 6:30 PM CT.
