LSU outfielder Antoine Duplantis: 'We will be better' with approach at the plate

When LSU got back to Baton Rouge on Tuesday night - Wednesday morning really - junior outfielder Antoine Duplantis sat in coach Paul Mainieri's office.

Duplantis was upset. With runners on second and third with two outs in the ninth inning, Duplantis hit a weak ground ball to second base to end the game and seal a 3-1 loss for LSU to Louisiana-Lafayette.

Duplantis had come up with big hits for LSU before and didn't always use the long ball to get it done. He had two home runs and 39 RBI as a freshman and then had two home runs and 61 RBI as a sophomore.
