LSU Rallies Past Southern
It took some time but the LSU baseball team (5-1) showed it can play from behind.
Southern University grabbed a 2-0 lead over the Tigers but LSU roared back scoring nine unanswered runs en route to a comfortable 9-2 win. LSU scored runs in three consecutive innings (fifth, sixth, and seventh) including a five-spot in the sixth.
“It was a good day for us at the plate,” Jay Johnson said. “We made good contact, and we came through with runners in scoring position. We have a new tradition here, we call it the ‘magic moment’ of the game when we win. It’s the moment of the game that tips the scales in our favor, and that was Gavin today staying behind the ball, driving it the other way.”
