LSU baseball drops 7-inning pitcher's duel to Vanderbilt in series finale

Despite another stellar outing from freshman Ma'Khail Hilliard, LSU had no answer for Vanderbilt's freshman starter on Sunday.

Mason Hickman limited the Tigers to just two hits over seven innings as Vanderbilt defeated the Tigers 1-0 to take the series victory.

Because LSU and Vanderbilt had to complete Saturday's game on Sunday morning, SEC rules dictated the regularly-scheduled series finale had to be seven innings. Sunday morning's game restarted with LSU up 6-2 in the eighth inning with two outs and Nick Bush finished the job to give LSU the four-run victory.
