I’m Jeanne Burns and this sportscast is brought to you by the Louisiana Department of Health, when gambling is more than a game, no one wins…

LSU has won in lopsided fashion in most of their mid-week games this year, but they had to come from behind to win last night in Thibodaux. The Tigers trailed three to nothing but scored five runs in the seventh inning and went on to win five to three. In that seventh inning, Jake Brown had a two-run single and Chris Stanfield also drove in two with a single. Fisher Ingersoil had a two-run double for Nicholls to give the Colonels a 3-0 lead. LSU got a great pitching performance from freshman William Schmidt who struck out eight in four innings to get the win.

LSU football resumed spring practice on Tuesday after more than a week off for spring break. Defensive tackle Jacobian Guillory was in full pads as he continues his recovery from a torn Achilles.

Former LSU quarterback Rickie Collins has been named the starting Q-B at Syracuse. Collins is a former four-star recruit from Woodlawn in Baton Rouge.
