A night after LSU’s bullpen collapsed with a 5-1 lead against UNO, the Tigers (4-1) put together a near perfect performance against the Hofstra Pride (0-4)
Zach Hess made his first ever collegiate start for the Tigers and put together a gem: five innings pitched with only two hits allowed and six strikeouts while only giving up two walks. Hess had a streak where he retired eight of nine Pride batters before giving up three straight walks (separated by an inning).
“I thought he was very confident tonight and threw the ball with a lot of conviction,” said LSU head coach Paul Mainieri.
