No. 18 LSU (21-11, 3-8 SEC) has been dealing with a case of deja vu, but it has never been in the Tigers’ favor.
No. 7 Vanderbilt (24-7, 7-4 SEC) evened the series after it won an 8-6 hard-fought victory over LSU due to clutch hitting late. The Commodores went 4-for-12 (.333) from the plate and scored six of their eight runs were scored within two-out situations, including the go-ahead two-run home run by second baseman Jayden Davis.
Although the offense sputtered late, this loss wasn’t on them as it batted .400 with runners in scoring position and scored four runs on five hits off of Vanderbilt starter Bryce Cunningham, one of the best pitchers in college baseball.
