LSU baseball’s nine game winning streak came to an end last night as the Tigers lost to the Auburn Tigers eight to four. LSU sophomore left-hander Kade Anderson suffered his first loss of the season as he allowed six runs. And former LSU pitcher Sam Dutton was outstanding for Auburn. Dutton threw six shutout innings, allowed three hits, two walks and struck out seven.

Louisiana Tech maintained its half game lead for first place in Conference USA with a five to four win over Middle Tennessee. Freshman Trey Hawsey homered twice, Eli Berch drove in three runs and Luke Cooley was the winning pitcher.

The Ragin Cajuns thumped U-L-M nine to three. Conner Higgs homered and drove in three runs. Lee Amedee also drove in three runs and Chase Morgan was the winning pitcher. U-L Lafayette remains a game out of first place.
