For the fourth consecutive weekend LSU (21-9, 5-5) found themselves in familiar territory: on the cusp of starting off a conference series down 1-0.
On the road against the defending national champion Mississippi State Bulldogs, LSU trailed 2-1 and was down to their final out, only this time the Tigers rallied back to take game one from Mississippi State 5-2.
Every good rally starts with a walk and that’s exactly what Hayden Travinski did in a pinch-hit situation (and drew it off a full count no less). Next, Josh Stevenson was hit by a pitch and suddenly LSU had two runners in scoring position—Collier Cranford would come on to pinch-run for Travinski— thanks to a wild pitch.
