In what was a pitching battle for most of the night, the fifth-ranked LSU Tigers were able to break the game open late as Maryland baseball lost by a score of 6-1 on Friday. The loss dropped the Terps to a record of 1-3 on the season.
Starting pitching was the storyline early in the contest as LSU trotted out a highly touted right hander in Alex Lange. The Tigers ace allowed one run in six innings of work, striking at 12 batters in the process. It was clear why the pitcher is so highly thought of as he was working the corners all game and using his curveball to put Maryland hitters away.
