The second ranked LSU baseball team begins a three-game series tonight at Texas A&M. It’s been a struggle for the Aggies this season. A&M was ranked number one in the preseason, but slumped offensively at the start of the season and they are 8-13 in the SEC after getting swept by Texas last weekend. LSU Coach Jay Johnson says despite the record the Aggies have a formidable lineup…

Cut 17 (20)  “…good challenge.”

The Aggies will start Ryan Prager on the mound. He has not been as good this year with a 4.04 ERA.

Louisiana Tech starts today in third place in the Conference USA standings, a game and a half back of Dallas Baptist for first place. The Bulldogs are at Western Kentucky who is in fourth place in the league.

In softball…ULM and Texas State are now tied for first place after the Warhawks lost to the Bobcats five to three last night. Mallory Wheeler threw a no-hitter last night as the Cajuns blanked Southern Miss two to nothing.

Arkansas won a wild game over LSU 12 to 9. The Tigers fell behind seven to nothing in the first inning, got within a run, but ended up losing by three.
