LSU welcomed Grambling into Baton Rouge after winning a series against the Arkansas Razorbacks and the offense picked up where it left off with a 17-5 run-rule win.

The Tigers scored two runs in the first two innings as [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] scored on a [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] RBI single and [autotag]Jared Jones[/autotag] scored on a Dugas sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.

In the top of the third inning, Grambling took the lead on a three-run homer against [autotag]Blake Money[/autotag] to give them a 3-2 lead. That lead didn’t last long as LSU scored five runs in the bottom of the third. [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and Jones hit homers and [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] scored on an [autotag]Alex Milazzo[/autotag] single to make it 7-3 Tigers.

The Tigers never looked back after that. LSU scored eight runs in the bottom of the fourth off of a Beloso single, a [autotag]Paxton Kling[/autotag] single, a [autotag]Ben Nippolt[/autotag] single, a [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] single, and some throwing errors to make it 15-3 LSU after four innings.

Grambling scored one more run in the top of the sixth to cut the lead to 15-4 but LSU got that run back and another as they scored two in the bottom of the sixth. Kling scored on a sacrifice fly by [autotag]Ethan Frey[/autotag] and [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] scored on a wild pitch to make it 17-4 after six innings.

[autotag]Micah Bucknam[/autotag] pitched the seventh for the Tigers and Grambling welcomed him with a solo homer to cut the lead to 17-5. That wasn’t enough to stop the run rule as the Tigers won big.

LSU will welcome the Tennessee Vols to Alex Box Stadium this weekend for what should be a great series. The first pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT Thursday.

How to watch No. 1 LSU baseball take on Grambling in Tuesday night midweek game

The Tigers look to remain perfect in midweek games on Tuesday night.

Following its second-straight SEC series win, the LSU Tigers baseball team will be back in action at Alex Box Stadium on Tuesday night for a midweek battle against Grambling before Tennessee comes to town for another tough three-game set.

The Grambling Tigers enter this one at just 9-14 on the year but are coming off a conference weekend sweep over Alcorn State. They’ve played just one SEC team this season, a 9-7 loss at Arkansas back on Feb. 21.

“You don’t ‘just win’ in college baseball,” coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] said in a release. “The game is not designed that way. Grambling has an athletic team, they play aggressive, and this is one of the more important games on their schedule. They swept their conference series (vs. Alcorn State) last weekend, and I know our players will be ready for the challenge. We got a little bit of a breather with a day off on Sunday, allowing us to practice and prepare today (Monday) for the game.”

The 21-3 (4-2 SEC) Tigers look to remain perfect in midweek games this season when Grambling comes to The Box. Here’s everything you need to know to watch this one.

LSU baseball gets back in the win column against Grambling

The Tigers had an offensive explosion in a Tuesday night win.

After another 2-2 week and a series loss to Auburn, LSU needed a bounce-back heading into a midweek contest against Grambling on Tuesday night. It got back in the win column as the Tigers won 16-3 in a game that was called early after seven innings with a run rule.

However, things did not start out well for LSU in this one, and it looked like it could be heading for a tough game. Grambling scored two runs on Grant Taylor in the top of the first to take an early lead. But in the bottom of the first, LSU tied the game with a two-run home run by [autotag]Jacob Berry[/autotag].

In the bottom of the second, LSU scored four more runs as [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit a solo homer, [autotag]Collier Cranford[/autotag] scored on a fielding error, and [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] hit a two-RBI double to score [autotag]Cade Doughty[/autotag] and Berry and increase the lead to 6-2.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the LSU offense erupted as it scored a whopping nine runs. It started out with a [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] RBI single, followed by a Travinski two-run homer, a two-run [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] missile, a [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] RBI single, a Thompson RBI single, and a two-RBI Cranford single to make it 15-2.

In the top of the fifth, Grambling scored an unearned run after an LSU error to make it 15-3. In the bottom of the sixth, [autotag]Josh Stevenson[/autotag] scored on a passed ball to make it 16-3.

With the win, LSU moves to 20-9 on the year and their next game will be in Starkville, Mississippi, as they take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs Friday at 7 pm.
