SEC games are never going to be easy, but LSU really had to hold on for dear life to win game two of its SEC opening series against Missouri 7-6 Saturday night at Alex Box Stadium.
Josh Pearson had a big first inning in both the field and at the plate. Pearson helped gun down Brock Daniels as he tried to extend a single into a double to end the top of the first, and then in the home half of the inning, he launched his third home run of the season to give LSU a 2-0 lead.
