LSU played some of their best baseball here in the home stretch and wrapped up a sweep of Auburn this weekend with a 9-1 win in game three. The Tigers have won eight of its last nine Southeastern Conference games to climb atop the SEC West. They’ll host Northwestern State tomorrow night.

UL-Lafayette clinched their Sun Belt Conference series following a 4-3 victory over Texas State. This keeps the Cajuns in second place in the SBC West Division.

ULM fell to Troy for all three games. Tulane got an 11-4 conference win over Houston. Nicholls State beat in-state foe UNO 8-7. Southeastern edged Central Arkansas 3-2. Louisiana Tech got the win over Marshall 6-4.

McNeese State completed a three-game sweep of Creighton and continue to lead the Southland with a 20-7 record.

Grambling State clinched the western division title on Sunday and will be the No. 1 seed in the west entering the SWAC baseball tournament. The Tigers did this by way of Southern defeating Texas Southern Sunday and the Jaguars are also headed to post-season play.

Last week it was reported Saints center Max Unger suffered a foot injury that required surgery. At the team’s rookie mini camp, Coach Sean Payton said the goal is to have Unger back by Week 3 of the preseason. Payton said he was aware of reports calling for Unger to possibly miss the start of the regular season and his response was, “Don’t get me started.”

Former LSU star Alex Bregman is making big news in the baseball world today as last night he clubbed a first-inning grand slam, the first of his pro career, to help the Astros beat the Yankees 10-7 in New York. And it was all in front of his idol, former Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter who had his No. 2 jersey retired Sunday. Bregman also wears No. 2.

The LSU softball team has been selected as the NO. 13 overall seed for the NCAA Championships and will host the Baton Rouge Regional this weekend with UL-Lafayette, McNeese State and Fairfield. All three teams come in as conference champions. Louisiana Tech softball, also conference champions, will be headed to the Tuscaloosa Regional as the No.3 seed.
