As the calendar turns from April to May, the LSU baseball team is getting a look at their future by playing several freshmen. Omar Serna, Mason Braun, William Patrick and Jack Ruckert will get an extended run to see what they can do. Coach Jay Johnson believes the young guys have made the team more competitive.

The Tigers have allowed 36 runs over their last five games and rank last in the SEC with a 5.32 ERA. LSU hosts South Carolina for a weekend series.
Last night in college baseball…the Ragin Cajuns scored five runs in the fifth inning and defeated Nicholls seven to one. U-L Lafayette has won five of its last six heading into this weekend series against Georgia State.
Nicholls will host UNO this weekend. The Privateers lost to South Alabama four to two last night. McNeese fell to Houston by that same score and Northwestern State lost to 22nd ranked Arkansas five to two.
One of the big shockers of last week’s NFL draft was former LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier falling all the way to the seventh round.
