No.1 LSU could not clinch the series at Plainsman Park Saturday night as the Tigers lost to Auburn, 8-6.
Auburn improved to 26-19-1 overall, 10-13 in the SEC, while top-ranked LSU dropped to 37-9 overall and 16-6 in conference play. The loss ended LSU’s eight-game SEC win streak, the Tigers’ longest since 2017.
The big difference in the game was LSU’s pitchers also could not find the strikeout zone, as Auburn scored three runs on five walks and a wild pitch in the fourth inning.
Another thing that plagued LSU is that they went 8-for-22 with runners on 6-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
