LSU Completes Sweep of Kentucky, 7-2
Bruce Thorson-USA TODAY SportsLSU ended the opening weekend of SEC play on a high note by completing the sweep of Kentucky with a 7-2 victory Sunday.
Eric Walker contributed his best start since his return from Tommy John surgery, throwing 4.1 innings where he only allowed one run on three hits and struck out five while issuing no walks.
Head coach Paul Mainieri pulled him in the fifth inning after he allowed back to back doubles, but that was a move born out of the fact that he had a full bullpen to work with after just using four pitchers Saturday.
Walker and the bullpen’s outing continue a positive trend for LSU pitching, who complete the weekend with just eight runs allowed.
