Wild 5th inning helps lift LSU to series win over Texas

LSU's fifth inning started with a Jake Slaughter fly out to right field and ended with a Slaughter fly out to center field.

In between, there was a whole lot of action that helped carry LSU to a wild 10-5 victory over Texas on Saturday night at Alex Box Stadium.

The win clinched the series for the Tigers but only after LSU fell behind 5-0 after the top half of the fifth.

In the bottom half of the inning, LSU got started on the basepaths when Bryce Jordan singled off Texas starter Chase Shugart, who had mowed down the Tigers in the first four innings allowing just one hit and no runs.
