LSU blows out Florida again, wins first SEC series of the year

The Tigers’ bats came alive once again in the rubber match against the Gators.

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.

[autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] followed that with a massive two-run homer of his own to make it 4-0.

In the top of the sixth, LSU added to their lead when “Captain” [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] hit an RBI single to make it 5-0.

[autotag]Jacob Berry[/autotag] followed that with a sacrifice fly for an RBI, [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] hit an RBI single, and Jobert hit another bomb, this one a three-run homer to make it 10-0.

[autotag]Giovanni DiGiacomo[/autotag] then hit an RBI double to make it 11-0 Tigers heading to the bottom of the sixth inning. Florida finally got on the board in that frame with a couple of runs to cut the lead to 11-2. Taylor stayed in for the rest of the game and secured the 11-2 LSU win giving them the series win over the Gators.

With the win, LSU moves to 17-7 overall and 3-3 in conference play. The Tigers play again Tuesday night against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks before starting a series against Auburn at home on Friday.
