Although the game was a duel between two of the best pitchers in college baseball, Jordan Thompson’s clutch three-RBI single in the eighth inning propelled No.1 LSU to a 5-2 victory over No.10 Tennessee.
Thursday night’s game attendance against Tennessee was 13,068, the largest crowd to ever attend a game at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
“Our fans were phenomenal, what an electric environment,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “It makes this the best place in the country to play and coach college baseball.”
Thompson who has made big hit after big hit this season will finally get recognition from people all across the country for his clutch hitting, especially the 3-RBI double that put LSU ahead at the bottom of the eighth inning.
