How It Happened: After leaving nine runners on base in a 3-1 loss to Texas A&M in game one of a doubleheader, Anthony Eyanson delivered his best performance in an LSU uniform in a 2-1 win over the Aggies in game two.

Jones, who had a solo home run in game one, led off the sixth inning with a double.

How it happened: For the first time in LSU baseball history, the Tigers were run ruled by a non-conference opponent at Alex Box Stadium, falling to the Northwestern State Demons 13-3. It was an ugly game for LSU who committed three errors, walked four hitters, hit four batters and the only offense was three solo home runs. LSU's struggles on offense continued as the Tigers were just 1-of-12 with runners on base. "Not a good game across the board," LSU coach Jay Johnson said.
