LSU baseball began its SEC schedule at Alex Box Stadium on Friday as the Tigers welcomed Missouri. Ace Kade Anderson got the start on the mound in game one, looking to get off to a fast start in conference play. LSU did just that with a 12-5 victory in game one.
Missouri took the lead early with a two-run shot in the top of the second inning to draw first blood. In the bottom of the second, LSU tied it up as Luis Hernandez hit a two-run shot of his own to tie the game 2-2.
Both teams settled into the game, and no runs were scored by either team in the third inning. In the bottom of the fourth inning, LSU tacked on five runs to put the good Tigers in the lead. Derek Curiel hit a three-RBI triple, Danny Dickinson had an RBI groundout, and Jake Brown hit an RBI single to give LSU a 7-2 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, LSU added two more runs as Brown hit a two-RBI double to increase the lead to 9-2. Anderson stayed in the game until he was pulled after getting one out in the top of the seventh inning. Connor Benge entered the game to pitch for the Tigers. Missouri was able to plate another run to cut the lead to 9-3. Anderson's gave up three runs on four hits, 11 strikeouts, and two walks.
In the top of the eighth inning, Missouri was able to trim the LSU lead down as a pair of homers cut the lead to 9-5. Both runs were solo shots and were charged to Benge. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Brown hit a sacrifice fly to increase the lead to 10-5. Stephen Milam followed that with a two-run bomb to increase the lead to 12-5.
With the win, LSU moves to 18-1 this season. Game two will be Saturday at 6 PM CT.
