A big factor in Auburn’s victory was outfielder Kason Howell. Howell was 2-for-3 at the plate with two triples, a bases-loaded walk and five RBI.
Auburn starting pitcher Christian Herberholz (1-3) earned his first win, limiting LSU to two runs – one earned – on five hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and four strikeouts.
LSU starting pitcher Christian Little (2-2) was charged with the loss. Little did not record an out in the first inning and allowed five runs on one hit with four walks. With the bases loaded and no outs, Little was relieved by Griffin Herring.
