The weekend in Auburn wasn’t what LSU (33-23, 15-15 in SEC) wanted, but it was probably about as best as could be expected. Dropping two of three in blowout fashion, but stealing a win with a glimpse at the bright future as Hilliard outshone the presumptive #1 pick for the 2018 MLB draft. Watching the games in person (Plainsman Park is an excellent little stadium btw), I never saw that LSU was unmotivated or didn’t have the will to try to pull that upset off, but too many little mistakes and too little pitching depth killed any chance of making it a reality.
