For the third SEC series in a row, LSU (18-8, 3-4) is down in a 1-0 hole.
Ater rallying last weekend to take the series from Florida, LSU took a step back and dropped the series opener to Auburn 6-5.
LSU was largely in control of Thursday’s opener thanks to solo home runs by Cade Doughty in the first and Hayden Travinski in the fourth; that was until a disastrous fifth inning struck where the Tigers surrendered all six runs with two outs.
Cole Foster led off the inning with a base hit and Josh Hall was able to bunt single his way onto first base despite three LSU fielders in the area of the ball and the bag.
