LSU head coach Jay Johnson was very pleased with the way his team came out and performed to start postseason play.
“I mean, it’s good baseball is what it was,” said Johnson. I mean, a couple of sacrifice bunts, a couple of sacrifice flies, two ground balls to the middle of the field with a man on third with less than two outs.
