The LSU baseball team began a nine-game homestand last night by blanking Nicholls nine to nothing. Tommy White hit two home runs. Coach Jay Johnson says beating a Nicholls team with 27 wins should help improve their R-P-I as they try to build an NCAA Tournament resume.

In softball…25th ranked U-L Lafayette defeated sixth-ranked LSU nine to four. The Cajuns scored six times in the first inning. Alexa Langeliers and Brooke Ellestad homered for U-L Lafayette.

Game two of their Western Conference playoff series is tonight as the Pelicans face Oklahoma City down one game to one.
