It’s 3am.
LSU started Eric Walker. It didn’t go well. 2 runs in the 1st on an RBI double and a sac fly, another in the 3rd on an RBI single, and, worst of all, a bases loaded HBP in the 3rd. LSU got nothing until the 5th, when a bases loaded walk by Duplantis and a sac fly from Beloso cut the lead to 4-2.
The game continued with little action until the 8th. With Watson on base via HBP, DiGiacomo hit his first home run of the year to tie the game 4-4. Commentators hours later would call it a cruel joke.
