BATON ROUGE, La. – Fourth-ranked LSU smashed four homers Tuesday night and seven pitchers combined to allow just five hits, as the Tigers defeated Louisiana Tech, 11-1, in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
LSU improved to 18-4 on the year, while Louisiana Tech dropped to 16-6.
The Tigers return to action at 7 p.m. CT Friday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of an SEC in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network, and it will be televised on the SEC Network.
Third baseman Tommy White, first baseman Jared Jones and designated hitter Hayden Travinski each homered and produced two RBI Tuesday night to pace the LSU offense.
