Thanks to home runs by Jacob Berry and Jordan Thompson, LSU (22-9, 6-5) has now taken the weekend series from Mississippi State by way of a 4-3 win Saturday afternoon.
“I think our team is maturing a little bit, and it showed in the game today,” Jay Johnson said. “We need to continue to re-focus and concentrate on the task at hand. It’s another test tomorrow to focus on playing quality baseball. We need to play quality baseball and let the result take care of itself.”
LSU wasted little time in extending its ninth inning momentum from Friday night’s game as Jacob Berry blasted a three-run shot to right in the first inning to give the Tigers the lead.
