Maybe this will end the debate about making Zack Hess a starting pitcher.
For the second consecutive week, the 6-foot-6 hard-throwing righty set a new career high in strikeouts as he fanned 13 batters in LSU's 8-1 win over Toledo on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
Last week against Texas, he struck out 10 on 99 pitches in six innings of work. Against the Rockets, Hess went seven innings and his velocity was just as strong late as it was early.
Hess' final pitch - his 109th of the night - was clocked at 93 miles per hour.
