Tigers Launch Five Homers; Defeat Nicholls, 9-0

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU blasted five homers and five pitchers combined to blank Nicholls on just three hits Tuesday night, as the Tigers defeated the Colonels, 9-0, in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

LSU improved 26-16 on the year, while Nicholls dropped to 27-15.

The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Friday when they open a three-game SEC series with Auburn in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. All three game of the series will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.

“It was a good night for us,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “I’m really proud of the pitchers; it’s hard to throw a shutout in Division I baseball with aluminum bats, especially at this time of the year. It was a really good outing across the board. Obviously, we hit some homers and did a lot of things well.”

Third baseman Tommy White led LSU’s 12-hit output Tuesday night by going 4-for-5 with two homers and four RBI. White is now hitting .341 on the year with 15 homers and 41 RBI.
