LSU will not go 0-2 in Paul Mainieri’s last postseason run after all.
The Tigers outlasted Central Connecticut 6-5 in a 10-inning contest Saturday afternoon, walking off the Blue Devils with a Giovanni DiGiacomo groundball with the bases loaded.
Compared to Friday’s performance, the game started off incredibly well for LSU, who jumped out to a 2-0 lead off a solo home run from Dylan Crews and an RBI single from Tre’ Morgan.
But LSU’s newfound defensive struggles reappeared in the second inning. After two leadoff hits to start the inning, DiGiacomo misread a fly ball, allowing it to drop in safely and score a run.
