LSU wasted no time with Stony Brook in their regional opener, scoring nine runs in the first two innings en route to a 17-3 blowout victory Friday night.
The Tigers move into the marble game of the Baton Rouge Regional against Southern Miss at 6:00 p.m. Saturday. LSU head coach Paul Mainieri confirmed that Cole Henry will start against the Golden Eagles.
After a single and walk in the first inning, LSU turned what would have been the inning-ending double play, but the back end throw from Josh Smith sailed wide, allowing the Seawolves to take an early 1-0 lead.
