In a battle of two desperate teams searching for a crucial late season series victory, LSU took the game one advantage with a 8-3 victory over Auburn.
LSU took the lead early with three runs in the third inning, but Auburn slowly but steadily whittled the lead back down to one run. LSU survived that scare and tacked on three more insurance runs late in the game to put the result in safety.
Tre Morgan and Landon Marceaux shined bright, with the Tiger leadoff hitter going 4-for-5 with a triple and two RBI and three hits to start an inning. Marceaux earned yet another quality start, throwing 6.1 innings where he allowed three earned runs off seven hits and allowed just two walks while striking out 11 on 104 pitches.
