Friday started out as a rough day for LSU baseball. The Tigers lost game one of a doubleheader 12-5 and fell behind 3-0 in game two. But the Bayou Bengals rallied back to win the nightcap four to three. Nick Coomes had a two-run single to tie the game and Antoine Duplantis had an RBI single in the 8th to score the eventual winning run. Zach Hess was fantastic out of the bullpen to get the win. The freshman threw 3.1 innings of shutout baseball to improve his record to 4-0. Because of inclement weather, LSU will not play today and the series will conclude on Sunday at noon.

UL Lafayette and Little Rock were rained out last night. The teams will play a doubleheader at 1 PM today. UT-Arlington topped ULM six to four.

McNeese leads the Southland by two games after beting Northwestern State 13-4. Matt Gallier and Shane Selman each hit two-run, eighth inning home runs.

Louisiana Tech Baseball fell behind 14-1 last night and ended up losing 14-9 to UAB. Rough start for Casey Sutton, who gave up seven runs in five innings and suffered the loss. He’s now 5-3 on the season.

Tulane topped Houston seven to one. Jake Wilsey homered twice and Corey Merrill pitched eight shuout innings. The Green Wave have a two-game lead over four other teams for first place in the American Athletic Conference.

Tonight it’s the LSU spring game inside Tiger Stadium. LSU fans will get a glimpse of the new offense led by offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Head Coach Ed Orgeron has yet to name Danny Etling as his starting quarterback for the 2017 season, but it’s hard to believe he won’t be. There’s a battle to see who will be his backup between Justin McMillan, Lindsey Scott and Lowell Narcisse. Also, a bunch of young wide receivers are looking to have a break out game. It all gets underway at seven PM and you can watch it on the SEC Network.
