LSU was in danger of dropping its first season opener since 2001 on Friday night. Notre Dame was up six runs and nothing seemed to be going right for the Tigers.
But Bryce Jordan and Josh Smith had other plans.
Jordan blasted a grand slam in the sixth inning and Smith followed that up with a three-run shot in the eighth to lift the Tigers to a come-from-behind 7-6 victory at Alex Box Stadium.
With a 6-0 lead after five innings, Notre Dame looked like it was going to run away with the game. But Jordan, making his first appearance in an LSU uniform since 2016 after he tore his ACL prior to last season, made sure to keep LSU (1-0) close.
