No. 9 LSU softball team faces No. 3 Texas while trying to snap a four-game SEC skid

1 week ago | nola.com | Jim Kleinpeter

The LSU softball team has hit a skid, and getting out of it this weekend will not be an easy feat. After winning eight of their first 11 Southeastern Conference games and climbing to No. 3 in the national poll, the Tigers have lost four consecutive conference games and will try to correct their path at No. 3 Texas during a three-game series beginning at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. The teams play again Friday at 4:30 p.m. and wrap up the weekend series with an 11 a.m. game Saturday on ESPN2.

Maci Bergeron homered and Tatum Clopton pitched a three-hitter to help LSU coach Beth Torina pick up her 700th career win in a 9-1 victory against Louisiana Tech on Wednesday at Tiger Park. The No. 5 Tigers jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first inning and finished it with four more runs in the sixth to improve to 35-5 after bouncing back from Sunday’s loss to Alabama. Torina improved to 700-353 in 18 seasons, 14 at LSU and four at Florida International, in what she called a “complete” victory.

The No. 5 LSU softball team is coming off a missed opportunity for a sweep against No. 24 Alabama but can console itself with the idea that it won the series. As the Tigers move into the second half of the schedule, winning a series will be cause for larger celebrations. The schedule gets decidedly tougher moving forward. After a nonconference game against Louisiana Tech at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Tiger Park, the Tigers visit No. 4 Texas A&M and No. 1 Texas on back-to-back weekends.

It was another Sunday at the ballpark for the LSU softball team and another missed opportunity when the No. 5 Tigers didn’t play their best in a series finale against No. 24 Alabama. With a chance to sweep the Tide, LSU's pitching and defense faltered while the offensive couldn’t get going until late in an 8-5 defeat at Tiger Park. It was the fourth consecutive Sunday loss in three weekends, dropping LSU to 34-5 and 8-4 at the halfway point of Southeastern Conference play.

LSU softball had another subpar Sunday, but this time it resulted in the team’s first two-game losing streak of the season. The No. 3 Tigers dropped 5-3 and 4-1 contests to South Carolina during a Sunday doubleheader despite winning big on Friday and coming within two outs of winning Sunday’s opener. They have a chance to get back on the winning track with a nonconference game at McNeese State at 6 p.m. Tuesday before hosting Alabama for a three-game series this weekend.

LSU’s softball series against South Carolina started with a dominant blowout but fizzled out into a doubleheader sweep by the No. 10 Gamecocks Sunday at Tiger Park.

3 weeks ago | nola.com | Jim Kleinpeter

The Smash Sisters were at it again for the No. 3 LSU softball team against South Carolina on Friday at Tiger Park. Maci Bergeron and Tori Edwards hit home runs in the first and second innings, respectively, as LSU dominated the No. 10 Gamecocks, 11-3, in a five-inning mercy-rule win. The game’s start was delayed for an hour by inclement weather. Bergeron and Edwards combined to hit four home runs in a sweep against Kentucky two weeks ago and got the Tigers off to another fast start Friday.
