The goal of any team over a weekend series is simple: win two out of three. LSU (34-7, 12-6) came into Saturday’s game having already achieved the primary objective but couldn’t complete the sweep and lost 7-4 to Alabama (31-10, 9-9)
Conner Ware got the surprise start Saturday for LSU and pitched pretty well all things considered. In his first ever SEC start, Ware went through the entire Alabama lineup once and gave up three hits and a walk. He gave up a leadoff single in the third and was replaced by LSU’s usual game three starter, Chase Shores.
