Louisiana Sets Tone Early, Defeats LSU, 7-2

[NewsCopy]

Lee Amedee and Colt Brown recorded a pair of hits apiece, and Louisiana scored three runs in the first inning to set the tone early and defeat No. 2-ranked LSU, 7-2, on Wednesday before an announced crowd of 5,736 – the third largest in school history – at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.

Louisiana (10-3), which capped a nine-game homestand, won for the 10th time in its last 11 games. LSU (11-3) dropped its second straight game and third in its last six and had its two-game win streak against the Cajuns snapped.

Drew Markle drew a one-out walk in the bottom of the first off LSU starter Gavin Guidry (0-1) before scoring on Amedee's RBI double down the left-field line for an early 1-0 lead. A throwing error later in the inning – one of three recorded by the Tigers – allowed Amedee to score before Steven Spalitta added a sacrifice fly that pushed the advantage to 3-0.

Really good win against our biggest baseball rival, but we need to put this win behind us and take the series against DBU.

Really good win against our biggest baseball rival, but we need to put this win behind us and take the series against DBU.

Very true. I bet the team is more ready to do so than the fans. At least I hope so. A series win this weekend will go far towards our RPI as it is a road weekend. That is now more important than a year ago as an at large bid is a definite possibility. We desperately need one of those to test us. We have only played one road game this season. Therefore we need to see how mentally tough the team is without the home crowd to give energy. I am happy they have a road series before conference play starts. It is very needed.
