The 10-3 win marked LSU’s ninth consecutive year of beginning a season with three victories. And needless to say, a lot went right for the Bayou Bengals this go around.
Pitcher Eric Walker kicked off his LSU career this contest, retiring the first ten batters he was faced with and striking out a total of five.
His first hit allowed wouldn’t come until the fourth inning, when the Air Force’s Nic Ready snapped the game’s trend of 33 straight batters the Tigers had gone up against without allowing for a single hit.
Walker was just one of many LSU baseball players who put on an outstanding performance on Sunday, as coach Paul Mainieri sung high praises of his entire squad.
