The LSU baseball team improved to 11-and-1 yesterday afternoon with a three to nothing win over Dartmouth. William Schmidt was dominant on the mound as he threw a career-high seven and a third innings, striking out nine, allowing four hits and no walks. Schmidt has better command of his pitches this season and he explained why following yesterday’s start…

Cut 17 (12)  “…throwing more strikes.”

Tough weekend for Louisiana Tech as the Bulldogs were swept by 12th ranked Southern Miss. Tech lost all three games by a combined score of 25-5. Coach Lane Burroughs is not hitting the panic button…

Cut 20 (13) “…late into the summer.”

La Tech will host Arkansas State for a two-game midweek series starting tomorrow night.

 

The Cajuns won two of three from U-C San Diego over the weekend. Nice job by U-L Lafayette’s bullpen as Cody Brasch earned his second save by retiring five of the seven hitters he faced.  UL-Lafayette hosts LSU Wednesday night.

ULM swept a series from Western Illinois. The Warhawks have won six in a row and in their last five games they’ve scored double-digit runs. ULM begins a two-game midweek series against Southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday.

The Lions are coming off a series victory over Northwestern State. The Demons won yesterday on Colton Harrison’s two-run home run in the eighth inning.

Nicholls salvage the final game of its series with McNeese as the Colonels defeated the Cowboys three to two yesterday.

Nicholls and McNeese will meet on the hardwood tonight. Tipoff is at 6:30. The Colonels need a win for a chance at getting a first round bye in next week’s Southland Conference Tournament.
