When LSU jumped ahead early and scored five runs in the first two innings, it looked as if the Tigers would cruise to a victory on Tuesday night.
But then South Alabama went to reliever Andy Arguelles out of the bullpen in the second inning and the Jaguars never looked back.
South Alabama slowly chipped away at the lead and eventually used a 3-run ninth inning to defeat the Tigers 7-6.
"We played hard the whole game," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said. "We got off to a good start and then their left-hander came in and shut us down for six innings.
