Everyone remembers the bout between Louisiana State University and Southern University on March 17, 2015 when the Tigers conquered the Jaguars 4-2 in 10 innings.
It was rated a phenomenal performance by both teams when Southern performed at great strides against a Southeastern Conference team that went on to the playoffs that season.
Painstakingly sure, that wasn’t the case on April 5, 2016 when Southern traveled to the Alex Box Stadium and fell 1-11.
LSU collected 11 runs and on 10 hits as they improve 19-9 this season while Southern drops to 8-18 after their confirmed five-game losing streak.
Right handed pitcher, Jesse Stallings earned the win for the Tigers after going one inning, allowing no hits and no runs. Southern’s redshirt sophomore, right handed pitcher, Harold Myles gave up seven runs on six hits in five innings.
In the bottom of the first, first baseman Greg Deichmann singled to the right side to allow rightfielder Antoine Duplantis to score for the first run of the game. Leftfielder Beau Jordan slam a two out RBI single, driving in Deichmann giving LSU a 2-0 advantage early. Jordan stole second and on a wild pitch from senior pitcher, Jose Delatore allowed shortstop, Kramer Robertson to head home for the third run of the game.
LSU finished the scoring summary for the first inning of the game when second baseman, Cole Freeman walked with the bases loaded to allow Jordan to score the last run of the inning.
Southern couldn’t reach a chance at scoring when LSU returned to the scoring mount in the fifth inning to ironically catch the fifth run. With runners on the corner of the field, Beau Jordan reached to first on a fielder’s choice to bring in designated hitter, Jordan Romero adding to LSU’s lead 5-0.
Myle’s issued three consecutive walks scoring Jordan from third, and Duplantis was hit by a pitch on the following play, allowing third baseman Chris Reid for LSU to grab a 7-0 lead.
At the top of the sixth inning, Southern finally gained a score by freshman infielder Malik Blaise to shred the lead 7-1. This will be the only score that the Jaguars will achieve in the entire matchup.
The Tigers captured another three runs in the bottom of the sixth. Reid singled to first, bringing in their pitch hitter Bryce Jordan to allow LSU to gain their eighth win. On their next play, LSU catcher Michael Papierski hit a two-run RBI, bringing in Robertson and Reid to extend the lead 10-1.
For their final plan to end the game, LSU ended the game with an RBI singled through to right field scored another pitch hitter, Brody Wofford for LSU’s final run. LSU utilized their pitching staff well when collecting 13 strikeouts with eight of their pitchers on the mound and limited the Jaguars to one run on nine hits.
Southern will continue their season by facing Grambling in their weekend series from April 8-10 at Lee Hines Field.
The Jaguars have collected one win from the Tigers and will attempt not to plummet in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.
