LSU baseball sweeps Mississippi State as lineup pours on the runs
Another day, another rain delay. After winning the first two games of the series, LSU baseball secured the series win against Mississippi State. The Tigers completed the sweep on Saturday night with a 17-8 win.
In the bottom of the first inning, LSU put up eight runs to jump out to a huge lead early. Jared Jones hit a two-run homer, Ethan Frey hit a two-RBI single, Chris Stanfield hit an RBI single, Derek Curiel hit an RBI single, and Jones hit an RBI single to give LSU an 8-0 lead.
In the top of the second inning, Mississippi State was able to get half of those runs back as they scored four runs on a solo homer and a three-RBI double against Chase Shores to cut the lead to 8-4. In the bottom of the second inning, Jake Brown hit an RBI single to increase the Tigers lead to 9-4.
In the top of the fifth inning, Conner Ware entered to pitch for the Tigers. Shores day was done after four innings of work where he allowed four runs on five hits, five strikeouts, and two walks. In the bottom of the fifth, Danny Dickinson hit a two-RBI double to make the lead 11-4 LSU. After one inning on the mound, Ware was replaced by Mavrick Rizy. Rizy gave up a run on a sacrifice fly to make it 11-5 Tigers heading to the bottom of the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Brown was able to steal home to extend the lead to 13-5 LSU. DJ Primeaux then entered to pitch for LSU. It the top of the seventh inning, Mississippi State scored three runs. Two of the runs were charged to Primeaux and one was charged to Connor Benge.
That cut the lead to 13-8. In the bottom of the seventh, Steven Milam hit a sacrifice fly to score a run and increase the lead to 14-8. In the top of the eighth, Cooper Williams entered to pitch for the Tigers. After hitting the first batter he faced, Jaden Noot entered to pitch.
After giving up a single, Noot got a flyout and a double play to get the Tigers out of the inning unscathed. In the bottom of the eighth, Luis Hernandez hit a solo shot to extend the Tigers lead to 15-8. LSU would then load the bases with one out, leading to a pitching change for the Bulldogs. Dickinson would then hit an RBI single to make it 16-8. Milam hit another sacrifice fly to make it 17-8 as we headed to the ninth inning.
When the top of the ninth inning started at 1:38 AM, like most LSU fans, I was fighting sleep as much as I could. Noot remained on the mound to attempt to close out the win. He retired the Bulldogs with two strikeouts and a flyout to end the game. With the win, LSU moves to 26-3 overall and 7-2 in conference play. The Tigers will be back in action when they take on Louisiana Tech on Tuesday night at 6:30 PM CT.

Blue Jays quick hits: Lauer deserves the bulk of the praise in come-from-behind win over Twins
It was one thing to sweep the lowly Athletics. It's something else entirely to win a series against the Philadelphia Phillies and then take the opener against the Minnesota Twins, rivals for a wild-card spot. The Blue Jays ' upward swing continued Friday night as Addison Barger and George Springer homered in a 6-4 victory at Target Field. The Twins made it interesting late by bringing the potential go-ahead run to the plate in the eighth inning, but left-hander Brendon Little escaped a jam before closer Jeff Hoffman entered in the ninth to record his 14th save. The Jays have now won nine of their last 11 games and remain tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the final American League wild-card spot. Here's everything you need to know about how the Jays started a three-city, nine-game road trip on a winning note: The Jays might have made a mistake in the spring by allowing veteran lefty Ryan Yarbrough to walk away for nothing in return, but Eric Lauer has been just as effective. Lauer returned on two days' rest to toss 2 1/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen. After sparking Thursday's blowout win over the Phillies, the resurgent Bichette is among the Lauer's performance helped right the ship after Paxton Schultz allowed three runs in two innings as the opener. Lauer has a 2.08 ERA across 26 innings. With results like that, the Jays should stop changing his role and commit to using the 30-year-old as a full-time starter. Barger has been on a heater for the better part of the month and he is showing no signs of cooling off any time soon. After hitting four home runs in four games earlier this week, Barger was back at it in Minnesota. After a disappointing start to his third big-league season, Schneider was sent to the minors to With the Jays trailing 3-0 in the fourth, Barger unloaded on an 88-m.p.h. fastball from Bailey Ober and sent it over the wall in right for a two-run homer. The no-doubter left his bat at 105.5 m.p.h. and travelled an estimated 384 feet for Barger's seventh homer of the season. This was his third game as the No. 3 hitter behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and, considering the recent results, it's a spot he deserves to hang onto for the foreseeable future. After a poor start to the season, the Jays' offence turned things around in May and the bottom of the order was one of the reasons why. Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, Jonatan Clase, Tyler Heineman and Myles Straw have all had their moments in the sun, and that was the case against the Twins, too. Clement sparked a rally in the fifth with a single to left before No. 9 hitter Andrés Giménez hit a fly ball that was misplayed by right fielder Matt Wallner to put runners on second and third. Leadoff man Bo Bichette followed with a bloop two-run single to centre as the Jays took a 4-3 lead. Springer made it 5-3 in the fifth with a solo homer before Alejandro Kirk added an RBI single in the eighth.

Goal drought: Tigers stumble, Swans finally fire at MCG
Sydney have strangled Richmond for a badly needed 44-point win, keeping the Tigers goal-less for more than a half at the MCG. The Swans' slogging 11.14 (80) to 4.12 (36) win in cold conditions on Saturday was only their third in 11 visits to the MCG, punctuated by two heavy grand final losses over the past three years. Sydney's record improves to 5-8, giving their season a glimmer of hope. After last weekend's last-quarter fadeout against GWS, Richmond started brightly and led by 12 points at quarter time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sydney Swans (@sydneyswans) But the rebuilding Tigers did not kick a goal from 19 minutes in the first quarter until 22 minutes into the last - unofficially a club record. All-Australian defender Nick Blakey, derided this week by some in the media as one of the season's biggest disappointments, was outstanding with 34 disposals and eight inside 50s. Isaac Heeney starred in the midfield and James Jordon played his role to perfection as a defensive forward on in-form Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin, kicking three goals. Tigers onballer Dion Prestia was on fire in the first quarter with 13 possessions, but James Rowbottom then paid him more attention and he only had 21 for the game. Sydney ruckman Brodie Grundy also had a day out, beating Richmond captain Toby Nankervis in another crucial match-up for the Swans. Brodie Grundy keeps it alive and kicks a ripper 🔥#AFLTigersSwans — AFL (@AFL) June 7, 2025 The longer the game went, the more apparent was Nankervis's frustration. Coming off big losses to Melbourne - at the MCG - and Adelaide at home, the Swans were in big trouble early. Richmond had 10 of the first 12 inside 50s and it was 10-4 at quarter time, with the tackle count also a lopsided 11-6 in the Tigers' favour. But Sydney made the game a scrap at the start of the second term and Heeney kicked a goal at 13 minutes to give them the lead. The Swans led by 14 points at the main break and they kicked 10 unanswered goals until Seth Campbell put through his second late in the final term.

Barger hits 2-run HR, Bichette has go-ahead 2-run single as Blue Jays beat Twins 6-4
MINNEAPOLIS -- Addison Barger hit a two-run home run, Bo Bichette had a go-ahead two-run single in the fifth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory. Trevor Larnach homered two batters into the first off rookie Paxton Schultz to give the Twins the lead and tie him for the team lead with 10. Kody Clemens had a run-scoring ground out and Christian Vázquez hit a two-out RBI double to make it 3-0 in the second. Bailey Ober hit Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a pitch to begin the fourth and then gave up his first hit when Barger homered to right field to get Toronto to 3-2. Five of Barger's seven homers have come in his last seven games. Ernie Clement singled leading off the fifth and Andrés Giménez doubled before Bichette blooped a single to center for a 4-3 lead. George Springer hit his ninth home run — a solo shot off Mason Fluharty to make it 5-3 in the sixth. Guerrero doubled leading off the eighth and scored on Alejandro Kirk's single for a 6-3 lead. Ober (4-2) retired the first eight Blue Jays before walking Andrés Giménez on a full count. He allowed five runs and five hits in seven innings. Eric Lauer (2-1) replaced Schultz to begin the third and allowed a hit in 2 1/3 scoreless innings to get the win. Fluharty and Yariel Rodríguez both got four outs, and Jeff Hoffman pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 17 opportunities. Royce Lewis went 3 for 3 for Minnesota, which was coming off a 5-5 road trip. Lewis had a two-out RBI single in the home eighth off Brendan Little to get the Twins within two runs, but Little left the tying runs stranded when Clemens grounded out. Toronto is 236-193 all time against Minnesota, but the Twins have won the season series in six of the last seven years. Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (5-4, 3.82 ERA) starts Saturday against Twins RHP Chris Paddack (2-5, 3.58).
