LSU baseball storms back to take game one and get needed win vs Alabama
After being swept by Auburn last weekend, LSU entered the weekend needing a response. The Tigers tried to accomplish that as they welcomed the Alabama Crimson Tide to Baton Rouge. The Tigers trailed 5-1 before scoring 10 straight runs to win this one 11-6.
LSU's biggest issue at Auburn was the bats going ice cold. Tonight, that problem continued to persist in the early stages of the game.
In the top of the first inning, Alabama got on the board first with a solo shot to go up 1-0. LSU was unable to score any runs in the first or second innings and in the top of the third, the Tide hit another homer to extend its lead to 2-0.
In the bottom of the third, LSU finally got on the board as Derek Curiel came through with an RBI single to cut the lead to 2-1.
As we went to the top of the sixth, Kade Anderson trotted back out onto the mound for another inning of work. Unfortunately, the inning didn't go well for him. Alabama hit a two-run homer and a solo shot to make it 5-1 and end Anderson's night.
Jacob Mayers entered to pitch for him. In the bottom of the sixth, Ashton Larson was subbed in to pinch hit for Luis Hernandez, who was hitless at the time. Larson came through in a huge way as he hit a three-run blast to cut the lead to 5-4 and give the Tigers' offense life.
Casan Evans entered to pitch in the seventh inning. He worked a clean inning, and it was the Tigers' turn to try to make some noise again. LSU got runners on second and third with zero outs, and Dickinson fouled out to third base.
That brought up Steven Milam, and "Monster" Milam hit a three-run bomb to give LSU its first lead of the night. After Jake Brown reached on a single, Josh Pearson reached on a fielder's choice, and Brown scored to extend the lead to 8-5.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Ethan Frey hit a two-run shot, and Brown hit an RBI groundout to extend the LSU lead to 11-5.
Connor Benge entered the game to pitch in the ninth inning, and the Tide loaded the bases against him before they scored a run on a walk to cut the lead to 11-6. Zac Cowan then entered to pitch. Cowan recorded a flyout to end the game.
With the win, LSU improves to 33-6 overall and 11-5 in conference play. Game two is scheduled to start tomorrow at 6 PM.
