You spelt Raph Rhymes wrong lol.

What happened to the giant kid who was a C but primarily played 1B and DH for the fried 2020 season, whose name I can’t remember now.

Yes, Travinski. Thanks for the update. I thought I’d missed something about him leaving since I never saw him mentioned. Good to know he’s still here.

It is not. Closed to the general public. There will be media there.

D1 baseball will be having a fall write up this week
They have been doing all the sec teams as their fall practices wrap up
Most will be what pm just recapped

Sitting around 90 and touching 92 is just fine for Labas. I'll take that all day with command of his pitches.

Yes

Are we really not going to get a full box score from these games? This is absolute horse shite.

Only info on LSU Baseball facebook page was:

Arnold 2-3 BB
Safford 2-3 2B RBI
Wyeth 2-2 BB

Edwards 3 innings 2 hits 0 runs 2 K
Brady 2 innings 1 hit 0 runs 2 K

The Gold team got the scoring fest started early with four runs in the top of the first against AJ Labas. Zach Arnold and Tre' Morgan notched back-to-back singles before scoring on a triple from Dylan Crews. Crews came around to score on a Will Safford double. The fourth run in the inning came across due to Labas reaching his 25-pitch count limit in the inning.

"I thought the start of the game was really great," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "AJ Labas is going to be a great pitcher for us, and we had some great at-bats against him in that first inning. There was a lot of good stuff throughout the game. There are some things we need to tighten up, of course, but I was very pleased with most of what I saw tonight."

The Gold team was able to scratch two more runs across in the fourth and sixth innings to take a commanding 6-0 lead. A two-out double in the fourth by Will Hellmers got the rally started. Hellmers stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and the scored on an error by the Purple team. In the sixth, more free passes resulted in the Gold scoring their sixth run without recording a hit in the inning.

The Purple team was kept off balance for most of the game, as it only recorded three hits through the first five innings. Gold starter Garrett Edwards and reliever Alex Brady held the Purple scoreless through five innings.

The Purple squad broke through in the bottom of the sixth as it recorded five runs on two hits. Two straight walks to Jordan Thompson and Brody Drost to start the inning ignited the rally. A two-out double to deep left by Drew Bianco brought home three runs to cut the deficit in half, 6-3. Bianco later came around to score on a single by Collier Cranford. Once again, due to the 25 pitch limit, a fifth run was awarded to Purple.

In the bottom of the seventh, Cade Doughty and Gus Milligan began the inning with back-to-back singles. A sacrifice bunt by Thompson moved the runners over, followed by a walk to Drost. A fielder's choice off the bat off Gavin Dugas brought home the tying run. The next batter, Mitchell Sanford, singled up the middle to bring home the winning run, capping off a 7-6 victory for the Purple.

I think they have Cade Doughty hitting for the wrong team. I wonder if that was Braden that hit the single. I watched Braden in practice and he is a good baseball player. I'm sure he would start for a lot of the in-state teams but his heart is at LSU. Hats off to him.
