The LSU Tigers improved to 26-12 after Tuesday night’s 10-4 win against Lamar (22-16).
Former LSU assistant Will Davis’ Cardinals started scrappy, but eventually the more talented Tigers pulled away from the Southland foes.
When it comes to how he feels about beating his old assistant, Mainieri has mixed emotions.
“Oh man, I love Will, Will was with me for nine and a half years,” Mainieri said. “Very loyal guy, hard working, good baseball man, I miss him, honestly I do. When Will left in the middle of last school year, I really felt a void in my life.
