Lost in all the hoopla of the second round of March Madness starting and Opening Day for MLB kicking off across the country, a little home run derby contest took place at Alex Box Stadium Thursday night.
It wasn’t easy, but LSU (24-3, 5-2) came out on the right side of it and took the opening game against Mississippi State (16-10, 1-6). LSU overcame a 6-2 deficit to win 8-6.
Kade Anderson had by far and away his worst start of the season as he gave up three home runs over the course of 4.1 innings. He gave up six hit and was charged with five runs.
