PHOTOS: LSU baseball defeats Oregon State in Baton Rouge Regional final to advance to supers

The Tigers had a perfect 3-0 record this weekend in the Baton Rouge Regional.

LSU capped off a perfect 3-0 weekend at Alex Box Stadium with a 13-7 win over Oregon State on Monday.

That was the second win over the Beavers in as many days, and it allowed the Tigers to capture a regional title and advance to the super regionals for the 16th time in program history (and the first time since 2021).

All three of LSU’s usual starters were unavailable, and coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] turned to the bullpen to secure the win. [autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] got the nod with [autotag]Nate Ackenhausen[/autotag], [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] and [autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] coming in to finish things off.

LSU’s offense was the real star of the show. The Tigers had 19 hits as a team with four different players — [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag], [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag], [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] — hitting home runs.

Now, LSU will await the winner of the Lexington Regional final between No. 12 national seed Kentucky and Indiana. That series will be played in Baton Rouge again.

In the meantime, here were the best photos as LSU closed out the regional final against the Beavers.

SUPER SHOWING: LSU beats Oregon State to win Baton Rouge Regional, advance to super regional

LSU will host a super regional at Alex Box Stadium against either Kentucky or Indiana this weekend.

For the 16th time in program history, LSU is advancing to the super regionals after a 13-7 win over Oregon State in the Baton Rouge Regional final.

[autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] got the nod on the mound on Monday afternoon as LSU looked to punch its ticket to the Baton Rouge Super Regional. LSU would have to beat Oregon State just once in two games to make that happen.

The Tigers drew first blood in the top of the fourth inning when they scored four runs on a bases-loaded hit by pitch, a sacrifice fly by [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag], and a two-RBI triple by [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag].

In the bottom of the fourth, the Beavers cut the lead in half with a two-run homer to cut the lead to 4-2. In the top of the fifth inning, LSU got those runs back as [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] and [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] hit back-to-back homers for the second day in a row to increase the lead to 6-2.

In the top of the sixth inning, [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] hit a Crews Missile off of the Tony Chachere sign in left-center field to increase the lead to 7-2. The Beavers struck again in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run shot to cut the lead to 7-4 after six innings.

In the top of the seventh, LSU put the game out of reach as the Tigers scored five more runs to make it 12-4 LSU after seven innings. [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] hit a homer, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] hit a two-RBI single, Crews scored on a wild pitch, and White scored on an RBI single by Travinski.

In the top of the ninth, LSU scored again on an RBI double by [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] to make it 13-4. Oregon State was down to its final three outs of the season, and the Beavers scored a run to cut the lead to 13-7 but that is all they could manage as the Tigers secured a spot in the supers next weekend.

LSU will play the winner of the Lexington Regional between No. 12 Kentucky and Indiana in its super regional.

LSU takes down Oregon State to advance to Baton Rouge Regional final

LSU punched its ticket to the regional final with a 6-5 win over the Beavers after a weather delay.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] got the start on the mound as the LSU Tigers looked to punch their ticket into a regional final. To punch that ticket, they would need to beat a really good Oregon State team.

After a lengthy weather delay, the Tigers ultimately got the job done. They won 6-5 and will advance to the regional final on Sunday.

Oregon State hit a solo shot to draw first blood in the top of the third inning to give them a 1-0 lead. Then the rain came, and the game was delayed.

After the delay, [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] took over on the mound and the Beavers greeted him by scoring two more runs in the top of the fourth inning. LSU got both of those runs back in the bottom of the inning, though, when [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] hit a two-run Crews missile to cut the lead to 3-2.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] and [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] hit back-to-back homers to give LSU their first lead of the ballgame as the Tigers led 4-3 after five innings.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, LSU got an insurance run when [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] hit a solo shot to increase the lead to 5-3.

In the top of the seventh, the Beavers tied the game on a two-run homer against Hurd to knot the game up 5-5 as we headed to the eighth. In the eighth inning, [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] hit a solo shot to give LSU the lead once again. LSU loaded the bases but couldn’t score any more runs and we headed to the ninth inning with the Tigers holding on to a 6-5 lead.

[autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] entered to pitch the ninth inning as he tried to earn a save. He struck out the first batter he faced before the second batter hit a single. The third batter grounded into a fielder’s choice for out No. 2.

Guidry struck out the final batter as LSU punched their ticket to the regional final.

LSU will likely play the regional championship game on Sunday against either Oregon State or Sam Houston State, unless we have more weather delays.

LSU beats Tulane in Game 1 of the Baton Rouge Regional

Paul Skenes pitched the first nine-inning complete game in his career as the Tigers took down their in-state rival.

Much to the surprise of many, [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] got the start on the mound for Game 1 of the Baton Rouge Regional against 19-40 Tulane.

We’ll see if that pays off in the long run for coach Jay Johnson and the Tigers, but it certainly did on Friday as they opened their NCAA tournament run with a 7-2 win to advance to the winners’ bracket.

LSU drew first blood in the bottom of the first inning when [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] scored on a [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] RBI double to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the second inning, the Tigers tacked on two more runs when [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] scored on an RBI double and [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] scored on an RBI groundout by [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] to make it 3-0.

In the bottom of the third inning, Travinski scored on an RBI groundout by Jobert to give LSU a 4-0 lead.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, LSU scored two runs off of two sacrifice flyouts to score [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and Travinski to make it 6-0 Tigers after 5 innings.

In the top of the seventh inning, Tulane finally got on the board with a two-run homer off of Skenes to cut the lead to 6-2.

LSU loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth inning and Travinski walked to score another run to make the score 7-2 LSU as we headed to the ninth inning.

Skenes stayed on the mound to start the ninth inning as he looked to pitch his first complete game. Skenes retired the hitters 1-2-3 as he pitched the first nine-inning complete game of his career. His final stat line was nine innings pitched as he allowed two runs on seven hits, zero walks and 12 strikeouts.

LSU moves on to the winners’ bracket to face the victor of Friday night’s matchup between Oregon State/Sam Houston State on Saturday.

LSU baseball eliminated from SEC tournament with loss to Texas A&M

Texas A&M eliminated LSU from the SEC Tournament with a 5-3 loss.

After losing to Arkansas on Thursday, LSU faced Texas A&M in an elimination game. If the Tigers were going to remain in the tournament, it would be up to [autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag].

Unfortunately for the Tigers, their run in Hoover, Alabama, came to an end on Friday evening with a 5-3 loss to the Aggies.

[autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] put the Tigers on the board first with an RBI single in the top of the second inning to score [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag]. The Aggies tied the game in the bottom of the inning with an RBI double and we headed to the third inning tied 1-1.

In the top of the fourth inning, Jobert struck again as he hit an RBI double to score [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] and give the Tigers a 2-1 lead. In the top of the fifth, [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit an RBI double to score Tre Morgan and give LSU a 3-1 lead after five innings.

Floyd’s day was finished after pitching five innings and allowing one run on three hits, seven strikeouts, and a walk. [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] was called on out of the bullpen in relief to start the bottom of the sixth.

In the bottom of the seventh, things fell apart for the LSU bullpen. The Aggies scored a run on a sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-2 and then they hit a three-run homer off of [autotag]Sam Dutton[/autotag] to give them a 5-3 lead. [autotag]Javen Coleman[/autotag] came in and got the Tigers out of the inning, but the damage was already done. Travinski scored in the ninth inning but that is all LSU could manage as they lost 5-4.

With the loss, LSU is eliminated from the SEC tournament and will now await to see who they will face in the Baton Rouge Regional.

LSU drops series finale against Georgia, will be No. 3 seed at SEC tournament in Hoover

The Tigers still took the series, but they missed a chance to win the regular season SEC title.

LSU entered Game 3 with a chance to be the regular season SEC champions, but Georgia was having none of that as the Dawgs took Game 3 with a 9-5 win. The Tigers still took the series and will now be the No. 3 seed at the SEC tournament in Hoover, Alabama, next week.

[autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] got the Tigers on the board first with a two-run bomb in the top of the first inning to put LSU up 2-0.

Georgia made a comeback in the bottom of the second inning to tie the game after a [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] error. In the bottom of the third, the Dawgs took their first lead of the game on a solo homer off of [autotag]Javen Coleman[/autotag] to take a 3-2 lead.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, [autotag]Sam Dutton[/autotag] entered the game to pitch for Coleman and Georgia greeted him by scoring three runs to extend their lead to 6-2 after four innings. In the top of the sixth inning, LSU cut the Georgia lead to two after a solo homer by [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and a double steal that resulted in [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] stealing home to make it 6-4 Dawgs.

Georgia got one of those runs back in the bottom of the sixth thanks to a bases-loaded walk by [autotag]Christian Little[/autotag] to extend the lead to 7-4. In the top of the seventh, White hit a solo shot to cut the lead to 7-5.

Georgia scored two more runs in the bottom of the seventh to increase their lead to 9-5 as we headed to the eighth inning. LSU loaded the bases in the top of the ninth inning with only one out. Jobert struck out for out No. 2 which left everything in the hands of [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag]. Thompson hit a flyball for an out and LSU lost 9-5.

With the loss, LSU drops to 42-13 overall and 19-10 in conference play. LSU fails to win the regular season conference title. We will see what the SEC tournament pairings will be soon as the Tigers will try to make a deep run in the conference tournament.

LSU will be the No. 3 seed. That means they will play the winner of the game between the No. 6 seed and the No. 11 seed. That game will be at 9:30 a.m. CT on Wednesday.

LSU baseball gets back in the win column against McNeese

LSU rebounded after a series loss to Mississippi State on Tuesday night.

LSU was looking to rebound after losing a series to Mississippi State last weekend while McNeese wanted to keep the Tigers’ losing streak going. Ultimately, coach Jay Johnson’s team prevailed to get back in the win column with a 7-4 win.

LSU scored three runs in the first two innings as [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] hit an RBI double, a run scored on a wild pitch, and [autotag]Alex Milazzo[/autotag] hit an RBI groundout to make it 3-0 LSU after two innings.

In the top of the third, the Cowboys roped their way back into the game with three runs of their own to tie the game. In the top of the sixth, McNeese took its first lead of the ballgame when a run scored on a fielder’s choice to make it 4-3 Cowboys headed to the bottom of the inning.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Tigers took the lead back with back-to-back solo homers from [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] to make it 5-4 LSU.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Milazzo scored on a single from [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] and White hit a sacrifice fly to make it 7-4 LSU after eight innings.

[autotag]Sam Dutton[/autotag] stayed in the game to pitch the ninth inning to try to close out the win. The first two hitters in the inning reached on back-to-back singles so [autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] came in. He retired the first two batters he faced before walking the third guy to load the bases.

[autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] was then called on to close it out. Hurd got the first hitter to ground out and the Tigers won 7-4.

LSU’s final series of the regular season starts on Thursday as the Tigers travel to Athens to play the Georgia Bulldogs. The first pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 5 p.m. CT.

LSU drops back-to-back SEC series with Sunday’s Game 3 collapse against Mississippi State

The Tigers led 13-4 in the sixth, but a Bulldogs rally erased that lead as LSU lost another conference series.

After blowing a lead late in Game 2, LSU looked to rebound and take the series against Mississippi State in Game 3. Instead, the Tigers saw a similar result as they squandered a 13-4 lead in the sixth inning to fall to the Bulldogs 14-13 in extras.

[autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] got the game started off right as he hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the second inning to give LSU a 3-0 lead.

Mississippi State got one of those runs back in the top of the third inning as the Bulldogs hit an RBI single to cut the lead to 3-1. LSU got that run back plus one more in the bottom of the inning as [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] hit a solo homer and [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] hit an RBI double to give LSU a 5-1 lead after three innings.

Things started to unravel in the top of the fourth, though, as the Bulldogs scored three runs against [autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] to cut the lead to 5-4. Once again, the Tigers answered. It all started with an error to score [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag]. After that, things went downhill fast for Mississippi State. [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] hit an RBI single, [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] reached on a fielder’s choice but got an RBI, and Jobert hit a two-RBI single to make it 10-4 LSU.

Mississippi State loaded the bases in the top of the fifth inning against [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] but [autotag]Christian Little[/autotag] came in and got the Tigers out of the jam without allowing any runs. After a Gavin Dugas double to start the bottom of the fifth, Morgan hit a two-run homer to increase the Tiger lead to 12-4. Hayden Travinski followed that with an RBI single to make it 13-4.

In the top of the sixth inning, the Bulldogs clawed their way back into the game as an RBI single and a three-run homer cut the lead to 13-8. In the top of the seventh inning, the Tiger lead came crashing down as Mississippi State scored five runs against three different pitchers to tie the game at 13.

What once looked as if it would be another run-rule victory had now become a tie game.

In the top of the eighth inning, the Bulldogs loaded the bases before [autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] got LSU out of the threat unscathed. In the bottom of the ninth inning, [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] drew a walk to put the winning run on first base. [autotag]Paxton Kling[/autotag] came into run for Pearson.

Kling advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and he advanced to third on a flyout by Morgan. Crews and White were intentionally walked to load the bases as [autotag]Alex Milazzo[/autotag] stepped into the box. He fouled out, and we headed to extras.

In the top of the 10th, the Bulldogs took the lead on a fielder’s choice to give them a 14-13 lead. Jones, Jobert, and Thompson were LSU’s final hope. Jones struck out swinging for out No. 1. Jobert walked to put the winning run at first. Thompson hit a fly ball into a double play and the game ended in a 14-13 Mississippi State victory.

With the loss, LSU drops to 39-12 and 17-9 in conference play. LSU has now lost two straight conference series. The next game will be on Tuesday against McNeese.

LSU’s bullpen implodes as Mississippi State takes Game 2

Ty Floyd took the mound as the Tigers looked to take the series against Mississippi State at Alex Box Stadium.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] took the mound as the Tigers looked to take the series against Mississippi State at Alex Box Stadium, but struggles in the bullpen cost LSU Game 2 in an 9-4 loss. Coach Jay Johnson’s team will look to avoid a second-straight series loss on Sunday.

LSU scored first on a bases-loaded walk to [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] to give LSU an early 1-0 lead.

The Tigers extended that lead in the bottom of the fourth inning when [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit a bomb to left field to make it 2-0 Tigers after four innings.

The Bulldogs finally got on the board in the top of the fifth inning with an RBI double to cut the lead in half. [autotag]Nate Ackenhausen[/autotag] came into the game for Floyd in the top of the seventh inning. Floyd went six innings allowing five hits and one run on a walk and 10 strikeouts. An outstanding start from Floyd is just what the doctor ordered.

Ackenhausen was met with a solo homer by the first hitter he faced and the game was tied 2-2. Ackenhausen was able to get a strikeout to end the inning and limit the damage to only one run as we headed to the bottom of the seventh. [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] broke the tie with an RBI single with the bases loaded to give the Tigers the lead. [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] then grounded into a double play, but it scored [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] to give LSU a 4-2 lead.

[autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] took the mound to start the eighth inning as he looked to keep the Tigers in the lead. The first batter he faced hit a double and the second batter hit a homer to tie the game 4-4 in the top of the eighth inning. After a walk and a single to the next two hitters, State hit an RBI single to left to give them a 5-4 lead.

[autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] then entered the game for Hurd. After retiring the first two batters he faced, the Bulldogs hit a three-run homer to extend their lead to 8-4 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning.

LSU was unable to score any runs in the bottom of the ninth as the Tigers dropped Game 2 9-4. Game three of the series is scheduled for tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.

LSU takes Game 1 against Mississippi State with dominating run-rule win

After dropping their first SEC series of the year last weekend, the Tigers decided not to play with their food in Game 1 against Mississippi State.

After dropping their first SEC series of the year last weekend, the Tigers decided not to play with their food in Game 1 against Mississippi State.

LSU drew first blood and scored four runs in the first two innings as [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag], [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag], and [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] all hit homers to get the Tigers out to a 5-0 lead.

The game stayed that way until the top of the sixth inning when the Bulldogs scored their only run of the game on a solo homer to left field off of [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag]. LSU answered that run with three of their own as [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] walked with bases loaded, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] hit an RBI single, and [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] hit a sacrifice fly to score [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] and make it 8-1 LSU.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, LSU scored four more runs as they secured a run-rule victory in Game 1 by a 12-1 clip. Morgan hit a two-RBI single and White followed that with a two-run homer to walk it off.

Game 2 of the series is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. CT at Alex Box Stadium.
