The Privateers pushed across three runs in the 15th inning to beat the Tigers seven to four. It’s the longest game in the history of new Alex Box Stadium and it’s the first time since 2008 UNO has won two games in a same season over LSU.

Louisiana Tech and the Cajuns also played deep into the night and it was the Bulldogs who pulled out a six to five win over nationally ranked UL Lafayette in 13 innings.
