It’s been nearly an entire year since the LSU baseball team took the field, but after 346 days the Tigers were back in Alex Box Stadium and opened the 2021 season with a 6-1 win over Air Force.
Jaden Hill was as good as advertised, striking out five in four innings. Hill’s fastball consistently hit 97-98 mph and overwhelmed Air Force; his off speed pitches were devastating too, as Hill got three straight Falcons to strike out looking in the first inning.
True freshman Garrett Edwards took over for Hill in the fifth inning, allowing one hit and striking out a pair.
