Here’s a math problem for ya: what do four LSU homers plus 13 Paul Skenes add up to? In LSU’s case a 12-1 run-rule win over Mississippi State Friday night.
Skenes was somehow even more brilliant than we’re used to seeing. The best pitcher in the country pitched all seven innings, surrendering just three hits and issuing one walk.
“You can’t take it for granted, but it’s amazing to watch Paul do what he does and execute the way that he does every time he goes out there,” Jay Johnson said.
Skenes came out the gate firing on all cylinders as he struck out the first six batters he faced.
