After a late night at Alex Box Stadium, the LSU baseball team had a practice this afternoon as they get ready for a big SEC series against Mississippi State. The Tigers won their fifth straight last night as they defeated Southeastern Louisiana 11-4. The two teams had to wait out a two-hour, 24-minute rain delay.

Mississippi State also had a late night last night as they played a 14-inning affair against ULM. The Bulldogs won one to nothing in Biloxi.

ULM returns to Sun Belt play on Friday as they begin a three-game series in Jonesboro against Arkansas State. The Warhawks are six and nine in league play, while A-S-U is 5-and-13.

The 20th ranked Ragin Cajuns will host Texas State for three games at the Tigue. UL Lafayette has won 13 of its last 16 and they are in second place in the Sun Belt with a 10-5 record. Gunner Leger pitches tomorrow and first pitch is at 6 PM.

Saints guard Tim Lelito has announced on Instagram that he’s signed his restricted free agent tender, which keeps him in Black and Gold for another season. Lelito will receive a salary of one-point-six million dollars.

LSU announces Robert Kirby has returned to coach Johnny Jones’ coaching staff. Kirby has been named an associate head basketball coach. He’ll replace David Patrick, who took a job as an assistant at TCU. Kirby was also at LSU during the 2012-13 season, which was Jones’ first season.
