LSU came into the weekend desperately needing a series win, and coach Jay Johnson’s team got the start it needed on Thursday night.
The Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 10-6 victory over the No. 6 Commodores. The bats got going early as LSU jumped out to a 9-0 lead in large part thanks to a six-spot in the third.

LSU had some issues in relief, allowing six runs in the fourth and fifth innings as Vandy mounted a comeback, but it was too little, too late. Now, the Tigers have a chance to secure a massive series win on Friday night in Game 2.
In the meantime, here are the photos from Thursday’s win.
