This wasn't the way LSU's baseball squad wanted to start out the weekend.
LSU lost its series-opening matchup vs. Hawaii, 4-2 on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium. The Rainbow Warriors racked up eight hits and did most of their damage with the long ball.
Hawaii entered the night with only three home runs in their first 11 games this season, but seemed to have found some power against LSU.
The Rainbow Warriors matched that total in seven innings against LSU's ace.
Coming off of back-to-back outings where Zack Hess recorded double strikeouts, the right-hander made a few mistakes that the Rainbow Warriors cashed in on.
