Co-Freshman of the Week: Austin Bain, LSU:

· Pitched brilliantly in relief on Saturday to help lead LSU to a 13-inning win over Alabama that clinched a three-game sweep of the SEC series.

· Bain entered the game in the bottom of the first inning with LSU trailing 4-2 and the bases loaded with two out; he retired the first two batters he faced to end the threat and pitched all the way through the seventh inning.

· Bain worked a career-long 6.2 shutout innings and he threw 93 pitches in the outing. He allowed just three hits with one walk and a career-high nine strikeouts.

· Bain combined with two other LSU relievers to blank Alabama over the final 12.2 innings of the Tigers' 6-4, 13-inning win.
