No late-inning magic for LSU baseball last night in Hattiesburg as the Tigers fell to Southern Miss eight to four to set up a winner take all match-up at 3 PM today at Pete Taylor Park. The Golden Eagles snapped a four-four tie with a three-run sixth inning. Riley Cooper suffered the loss and Eric Reyzelman allowed two runs in a third of an inning. LSU’s bats could not do anything against Justin Storm as he threw five shutout innings for his third win of the season.

Coach Jay Johnson says they will not allow Sunday night’s defeat to impact what happens when they play the Golden Eagles again at three PM today…

We’ll see if LSU brings back Ma’Khail Hilliard after he threw for 55 pitches on Friday. Devin Fontenot and Trent Veitmeier should see some work too.

The Ragin Cajuns and Louisiana Tech were eliminated from Regional play on Sunday. U-L Lafayette fell to TCU six to one to finish with a record of 37-23. Coach Matt Deggs says he’ll be forever grateful to the 2022 team for bringing the Cajuns back to the Regionals for the first time since 2016…

Meanwhile over in the Austin Regional, Louisiana Tech lost to Air Force in an elimination game nine to seven.

Tech started strong as they grabbed an early four to nothing lead thanks to a two-run homer from Taylor Young. The Bulldogs finish with a 43-21 record.

Southeastern Louisiana did not win a game at the Auburn Regional. UCLA eliminated the Lions 16 to 2 on Saturday.
