A late Louisiana rally was not enough to overcome a barrage of extra-base hits by LSU, which pounded three homers to beat the Cajuns 8-6 in the Wally Pontiff Jr. Classic on Tuesday night at Zephyr Field.
The Cajuns (15-11) busted out of a midgame slump against LSU reliever Russell Reynolds (2-0) to score four runs in the seventh inning, and they brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth, but LSU (24-5) retired six of the final seven batters to secure the win.
