LSU opened up conference play with a 4-2 victory over Mizzou Friday night.
LSU built their lead on early gifts from Mizzou pitcher Bryce Montes De Oca after he walked the bases full to start the game, but failed to capitalize on many of the chances that came their way after the fact. LSU went a woeful 1-10 with RISP on the night and it took until the bottom of the eighth for LSU’s first hit with a runner in position to come through.
“We just had so many chances to break the game open,” LSU head coach Paul Mainieri said.
