LSU was critiqued mightily the first few games of the season after having poor performances from behind the plate and not having a clear Friday night starting pitcher.
However, after LSU’s 6-3 victory over No. 15 Texas (7-2), those questions were finally answered. LSU (9-1) not only managed to record six runs off of 10 hits against one of the best pitching staffs in the country, but the pitching staff led by starter Luke Holman recorded 20 strikeouts.
Holman (3-0) was almost unstoppable on the mound against Texas. He pitched 5.2 scoreless innings and only allowed three hits and one walk with 12 strikeouts.
