LSU lost their opening round contest on Tuesday to Georgia 4-1.
The LSU Tigers stay in Hoover has been a short one with a 4-1 loss to Georgia on Tuesday night with all four runs from the Bulldogs coming in the first inning.
How It Happened:
LSU’s bats started off fairly hot with second-team All-SEC teammates Tre Morgan and Dylan Crews hitting back-to-back singles. The Tigers had the bases loaded after Gavin Dugas was hit by a pitch, setting up Cade Doughty to potentially start off a big inning for the Bayou Bengals.
Those hopes were dashed though with Doughty grounding into a double play and only Morgan reached home to give LSU an early 1-0 lead.
