A four run fourth inning was all the runs Tigers pitcher Zack Hess needed last night as he threw eight strong innings in a 4-1 win in the series opener versus Texas A&M. Hess allowed just four hits, three walks and he struck out five to improve his record to 5-3. Antoine Duplantis had a two-run single in that four-run fourth. Hunter Feduccia (Fuh-do-shuh) and Bryce Jordan also drove in runs that innings. LSU is now 6-4 in the SEC and game two is tonight at 6 PM.
