The South Alabama Jaguars (31-18) defeated LSU (32-17) 7-6 in a furious rally Tuesday night in Alex Box Stadium.
After jumping out to a 5-1 lead after two innings, LSU failed to score any insurance runs and allowed South Alabama to slowly erase the lead before storming ahead at the death.
South Alabama got to Caleb Gilbert early on in the game, recording three singles in the first inning. LSU recorded a huge 5-4-3 double play to minimize the damage, but South Alabama came out of the inning ahead 1-0
LSU quickly struck back with a Kramer Robertson double to right center field to lead off the bottom half of the first inning and he was soon scored by a Greg Deichmann opposite field shot to put LSU ahead 2-1.
