Today was the rubber match between the Tigers and the Florida Gators. UF won Friday while LSU won Saturday. The Gators were looking for their second SEC series win in a row and LSU was looking for their first conference series win.
[autotag]Samuel Dutton[/autotag] got his first collegiate start, and he was magnificent. He pitched 3.2 innings allowing zero runs on one hit, three walks, and a strikeout. In what has been a very chippy series for both teams, LSU has been able to capitalize on their emotions in an 11-2, series-clinching win.
In the top of the fourth inning, LSU got the scoring started with a two-run [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] bomb to make it 2-0.
