It was the night of May 4 — perhaps very early on the morning of May 5 — and Jay Johnson was sitting at home thinking about the game his Tigers had just lost at Texas A&M. There was disappointment in a loss so raw, so abrupt. LSU was in control 4-2 in the eighth, only to surrender four runs and lose 6-4 to drop the series 2-1. The loss dropped LSU to 38-11 overall and 15-9 in Southeastern Conference play.
