The fifth ranked LSU baseball team goes for the series victory tonight against the Georgia Bulldogs. The Tigers won in dramatic fashion last night, eight to five in 12 innings. Josh Pearson’s first home run of the season broke a five-five tie. Jordan Thompson followed that up with his second home run of the year. Thatcher Hurd gave up two home runs in the ninth, but redemeed himself by not giving up a run in the 10th, 11 and 12th innings to get the win.

How many runs will be scored in Ruston tonight? Last night, U-T-S-A and Louisiana Tech combined to score 34 runs, but it was the Roadrunners who came out on top, winning 18=16 in 11 eleven innings.

The Ragin Cajuns would like to get on the scoreboard tonight. They were shuout by Southern Miss four to nothing last night. ULM looks to break a seven game losing streak as they face Texas State tonight.

Nicholls is at UNO and Northwestern is at Southeastern Louisiana looking to rebound from an extra inning loss last night.

At the NCAA Softball Regional in Baton Rouge, the Cajuns blanked Omaha five to nothing to advance to the winner’s bracket. Sam Landry was the winning pitcher and Karly Heath homered for the 15th time.

UL-Lafayette will play the winner of tonight’s game between LSU and Prairie View. The Tigers are the top seed and expected to win, which will set up a matchup between the Tigers and Cajuns at noon tomorrow. LSU and U-L Lafayette used to have a heated rivalry in softball, but Yvette Girouard, who coached at both schools, says it has calmed down over the years…
