Saturday at 1:17 a.m. has become winning time for the LSU baseball team.
Two weeks after Jared Jones hit a game-winning home run at that time to win a series opener over Tennessee, Jones scored the game-winning run at 1:17 Saturday morning to give the fourth-ranked Tigers a 5-4 victory over second-ranked Arkansas in 10 innings at Alex Box Stadium.
The teams are scheduled to play Game 2 of their series Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
LSU (39-11, 16-9 SEC) improved to 29-4 on its home field by winning another late-night thriller. Like the Tennessee game, the Tigers' series opener against the Razorbacks did not begin until 9:55 p.
