It wasn't the best weekend for LSU coach Paul Mainieri and the rest of the Tigers' baseball team.
After a tough loss to Tulane last Wednesday, the Tigers were swept on the road by South Carolina over the weekend. It was the first time LSU had been swept in over four years.
"It's a bitter pill to swallow but we have to swallow it and take it like men and bounce back," Mainieri said on Monday (April 23). "But it was certainly a tough week."
Earlier Monday, the Tigers were left out of every major college baseball poll for the first time since the final week of the 2011 season.
