Three years into his LSU career, Daniel Cabrera can't remember ever practicing on a Monday before.
He can't remember being no-hit before either.
In baseball, as in life, there's a first time for everything.
That's how the Tigers found themselves back to work Monday, a day after failing to scratch across a hit in a 1-0 loss to Oklahoma. Typically their off day before midweek games, Paul Mainieri decided to get his players back on the field as soon as possible.
On Tuesday, that decision paid dividends.
Behind nine hits – four for extra bases, including a towering home run – LSU defeated Southeastern 6-3.
