In what figures to be LSU’s toughest test before conference play begins, the Tiger pitching struggled as LSU dropping two of three games of the St. Pete Invitational.
The weekend started out on a strong note for the Tigers, with a 10-2 run-rule win over No.7 Oklahoma State. Ali Kilponen was strong from the circle, throwing a complete game allowing two runs on eight hits and striking out two. After Oklahoma State took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the third, the Tigers scored nine unanswered runs. Shelbi Sunseri and McKenzie Redoutey had each had a home run and three RBI.
