The LSU softball team was unable to carry its momentum from the previous week’s series win against Alabama, as the Tigers followed that performance by getting swept by Texas over the weekend series in Austin. The struggle of the weekend was the Tigers inability to play complementary softball. When the pitching was good, the offense struggled, when the offense was good, the pitching struggled.
Game one of the series saw the Tigers drop 3-0 to the Longhorns. Ali Kilponen allowed three runs in just two and a third innings of work. She was relieved by Shelbi Sunseri who pitched a shutout for the remainder of the game.
