I love LSU! Miss St always makes me nervous in football and baseball. I didn’t realize until yesterday that State leads the series in baseball by a huge margin.

Let’s GEAUX boys! Crank out a win today and tomorrow.

The disappointing part of the game was allowing a freshman pitcher holding LSU to ONE hit in 5.2 innings with 8K's.

What difference does it make what year he’s in? He was obviously good enough to be first in relief on Friday in the SEC and was still throwing mid 90’s over 80 pitches.

It matters none. The guy was good. That’s why they threw him.

Starkville is a tough place to open SEC play. Tigers need to bounce back and take early leads. Long season so this series is one of many tuneups
