What a performance from LSU’s Todd Peterson last night! Not only did he pitch five innings of relief for his first win of the season, but he also got a chance to bat in the 12th inning. Coach Paul Mainieri didn’t know it at the time, but it was Peterson’s first at-bat since middle school and he smoked a line drive down the left field line for a two-run double to cap a 6-4 win over South Carolina. It was the post game when the truth came out about Peterson’s hitting experience….

LSU faces another elimination game in the SEC Tournament tonight.

Louisiana Tech is still alive in the Conference USA Tournament after beating F-I-U seven to five last night in Biloxi. Hunter Wells had four hits.

The Ragin Cajuns lost 10-1 in a winner’s bracket contest against Troy. UL-Lafayette’s five-game winning streak is over and they take on Texas State in an elimination game tonight.

In the Southland, UNO and Northwestern State are 2-0, while Southeastern and Nicholls face off in an elimination game this morning.

Saints Coach Sean Payton believes the N-F-L’s new rules on kick-offs will be good for the game. The biggest changes are seeking to avoid the high-speed collisions between players.
