Pinch hitter Hayden Travinski blasted a clutch three-run home run in the ninth inning to help No. 1 LSU defeat Ole Miss 7-6 and complete the weekend sweep.
Not only was it Travinski’s first dinger of the year, but it erased a 6-4 Ole Miss lead and it gave LSU its first conference weekend sweep of the season. Ironically, the Rebels swept the Tigers last year at the Box, which changed the complexion of their whole season as they went from a struggling squad to College World Series champions.
With the Rebels in command of a 6-4 lead in the top of the ninth, reliever Mitch Murrell retired the first two LSU batters in the inning.
