Jared Jones Launches Three Homers; Leads LSU To 16-0 Win Over McNeese

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU first baseman Jared Jones tied the school single-game record for home runs with three Tuesday night to lead the Tigers to a 16-0 win over McNeese in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

The game was halted after the top of the seventh inning due to the NCAA 10-run rule.

LSU improved to 22-12 on the year, while McNeese dropped to 16-15.

The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Friday when they open a three-game SEC series versus Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn. Friday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network, and it will be televised on ESPNU.

Jones, batting in the lead-off position for the Tigers on Tuesday night, was 4-for-5 with three homers, one double, six RBI and four runs scored. He tied the LSU single-game record for homers set on several occasions, most recently by outfielder Leon Landry on May 16, 2009, at Mississippi State.

Jones has a team-high 14 homers this season, and he leads LSU in RBI with 34.
