BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU bolted to a 9-0 lead in the first two innings Tuesday night, as the Tigers recorded a 13-6 win over Tulane in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

“All nine guys that were in the starting lineup had a great night tonight,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson of a lineup that produced 16 hits. “Everybody was on base multiple times throughout the game, and we strung a lot of great at-bats together.

“The first inning tonight was one of the best inning of the year offensively in terms of plate discipline, hard contact and execution. It was a clinic, and it’s been that way for us for a couple of weeks now.”

The Tigers erupted for six runs in the first inning, as catcher Cade Arrambide launched a two-run homer, shortstop Steven Milam and third baseman John Pearson delivered RBI doubles and designated hitter Seth Dardar lined a run-scoring single to highlight the outburst.

Milam ripped a two-run double and Dardar added another RBI single to increase LSU’s lead to 9-0 in the second inning.

Milam finished the game 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBI, and Pearson was 2-for-5 with three RBI, including a two-run homer in the seventh inning.

Dardar, Arrambide and rightfielder William Patrick each contributed two RBI in the contest.
