Tigers Complete Sweep of Mississippi State
Somehow someway, LSU and Mississippi State had a later rain/lightning delay (three and a half hours) with an even later first pitch (9:36 P.M.) and an EVEN LATER end time (1:44 A.M.) than last night but the result was the same: LSU came out on top.
The Tigers (26-3, 7-2), successfully swept State (16-12, 1-8) by a score of 17-8 thanks in large part to a first inning offensive onslaught.
LSU ambushed Mississippi State starter Karson Ligon, and chased him before he could even get out of the inning. Derek Curiel led off the game with a single and Bear Jones wasted no time in bringing Curiel home, and absolutely nuked a ball to the batter’s eye in centerfield to give LSU a quick 2-0 lead.
