Ugly game for the 14th ranked LSU baseball team last night as they were soundly defeated 16-9 in game one of their three-game set against Florida. Ma’Khail Hilliard got the start for the injured Zack Hess and gave up six runs in two innings. The Gators hit four home runs on the night as LSU’s losing streak has reached four games. Game two of the series is tonight at 7 PM.

Louisaina Tech also lost last night as Marshall scored six runs in the last two innings to beat the Bulldogs seven to three. Tech got a great start from Matt Miller as he allowed one run in seven innings, but the bullpen couldn’t hold a two-run lead. Tyler Follis, Braxton Smith and Kyle Griffen were all touched up for runs.

The Ragin Cajuns Gunner Leger also had a tough night as he couldn’t hold on to a 8-4 lead in the eighth inning as Texas-Arlington rallied for a nine to eight walk off win. Leger allowed five runs on five hits for his third loss of the season.

New LSU AD Scott Woodward will be formally introduced on Tuesday and we’ll get to hear his ideas on improving Tiger athletics. Many athletic directors are dealing with declining attendance at college football games. Former AD Joe Alleva pushed the SEC to allow schools to sell beer in the stands and Tiger Rag Editor James Moran says…
cut 12 (11) “…times”
Moran says Woodward’s first priority will be trying to figure out what’s going on with the LSU men’s basketball program and its previously suspended head coach Will Wade.

Louisiana Tech has announced an eight-person class that will be enshrined into the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame in October. The headliners of the class are all-american running backs Ryan Moats and J-W Slack, legendary football coach Joe Raymond. Also going into the Hall, seven-time track and field All-American Chelsea Hayes and Eddie Holman, the Bulldogs baseball career wins and strikeout leader.
