Arkansas Shuts Out LSU

Friday night’s series opener against Arkansas was the first LSU sporting event to allow 100% capacity going back to last March. While the fans showed up, the Tiger offense did not.
LSU was shutout 7-0, wasting a golden start from Landon Marceaux in the process. The Tiger hitters couldn’t figure out Arkansas starter Patrick Wicklander and reliever Kevin Kopps, being shutout by the duo and only picking up three hits in the game. LSU only had a runner in scoring position once in the game.
Marceaux was phenomenal for most of the game, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Unfortunately it was in the seventh that Marceaux ran out of gas and not only lost the no-hitter but surrendered the lead when he gave up two runs off four hits in the inning.
