No.5 LSU wins its first game of the SEC tournament against South Carolina 10-3 in dominant fashion in Hoover, Ala.
LSU’s victory over the Gamecocks gave LSU head coach Jay Johnson his 400th win of his career. His record is 400-207 in 11 seasons at Point Loma Nazarene, Nevada, Arizona and LSU.
LSU starting pitcher Thatcher Hurd (5-2) was a huge reason why LSU was able to beat South Carolina. Hurd earned the victory as he hurled for 5.1 innings and fanned four Gamecock batters.
“It was a really good performance by our team,” Johnson said.
