GAME BLOG: LSU 9, SLU 5 (final)
Tiger Rag Associate Editor
Mikie Mahtook’s solo home run started a two-out rally in the sixth inning. Blake Dean’s two-run homer turned it into a three-run inning for a two-run LSU lead, and the Tigers added two more in the seventh for a 9-5 against Southeastern Louisiana to end LSU’s losing streak at seven games.
The Tigers (33-13) scored the game’s first two runs in the first inning, let the Lions take a 3-2 lead in the third, tied it in the same inning, then traded single runs with SLU in the fifth inning, which ended with the score tied at 4. The Lions added a run in the top of the sixth, and the three-run outburst in the bottom of the inning enabled LSU to pull away.
The Lions (33-14) left nine runners on base, as did LSU.
Six LSU pitchers threw in the game, beginning and ending with junior right-handers who will start this weekend against Vanderbilt. Starter Austin Ross gave up three runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. Anthony Ranaudo, who pitched the ninth, struck out two and gave up two hits and a walk before getting the final out with the bases loaded.
Ranaudo said his lower left leg, which was hit by a batted ball Friday at Florida, was not a problem. More encouraging, he said, was his “velo” — his velocity — hit 94-96 mph, the best it’s been this season, he said. You can hear more on that in the audio file below.
Ben Alsup (3-0) pitched one inning and gave up a run on one hit. He was the pitcher of record when the Tigers took the lead for good.
Cody Gougler was 5-for-5 for the Lions with an RBI. Starting pitcher Josh Janway (3-1) of Baton Rouge pitched into the sixth inning and gave up six runs on 10 hits and three walks. He struck out five.
