Umpires criticized for controversial fan interference call on Hayden Travinski home run in Game 1 vs. Texas A&M

Hayden Travinski gave the Tigers a would-be insurance run in the eighth, but it was wiped off the board by a controversial call.

LSU baseball ultimately hung on to its lead in Game 1 against No. 1 Texas A&M on Friday night, winning 6-4 to take the early advantage in a critical series at Alex Box Stadium.

However, the Tigers had the opportunity to gain a critical insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning that was ultimately wiped off the board by the officials. [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit what appeared to be a home run to give LSU a 7-4 lead.

But the home run was erased and Travinski called out as the umpires determined that a fan interfered with the ball. The call was the source of quite a bit of controversy, and it even prompted criticism from the broadcast team.

“That was not exactly what I thought we were gonna get,” SEC Network’s Kyle Peterson said, per On3’s Nick Schultz. “I thought we were gonna get either upheld or overturned. In fact, I thought we were gonna get overturned, it’s a double. Fan interference didn’t really enter my mind. I still don’t see it.”

D1Baseball managing editor Kendall Rogers also voiced his disagreement with the call on social media, sympathizing with frustrated LSU fans.

[autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] ultimately came through for the Tigers in the ninth. Though he allowed a pair of hits, he didn’t allow any damage as he earned the save.

Now, despite some controversy from the officials, LSU has a 1-0 lead in the series and has the chance to clinch it in Game 2 on Saturday night.

Jay Johnson gives an update on Brady Neal’s injury status for LSU baseball

Jay Johnson said Brady Neal has been playing through a shoulder injury that he aggravated over the weekend.

[autotag]Brady Neal[/autotag] has seen a lot of playing time for LSU this season from behind the dish.

The sophomore catcher from Tallahassee, Florida, has played in 33 games so far for the Tigers, and after starting out hitting pretty well at the plate, his production has fallen off.

Starting with the Vanderbilt series, Neal is 3-for-19 (.158) from the plate. That has led to a lot of people wondering what is going on with Neal. Today, LSU head coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] said that Neal has been dealing with a shoulder injury and he re-aggravated it against Missouri last weekend.

LSU is blessed with a plethora of talented catchers as the Tigers have three guys who could be the No. 1 guy at most other schools. [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag], [autotag]Alex Milazzo[/autotag] and Neal all have the talent to be starting catchers at any school in the country.

We have entered the back half of the season and LSU is fighting for a spot in the SEC tournament so it’s all hands on deck for the Tigers right now. Hopefully, Neal will heal sooner rather than later.

Holman was pulled from the game after 4.2 innings of work. He gave up six runs on six hits, four strikeouts, and two walks. [autotag]Aiden Moffett[/autotag] entered the game for LSU and Missouri scored one of those four runs against him that inning.

LSU started trying to claw their way back in the top of the sixth inning with a solo homer from [autotag]Jared Jones[/autotag]. Then [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit a two-run shot in the top of the eighth to cut the lead to 7-4.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Missouri scored another run to increase their lead to 8-4. In the top of the ninth, [autotag]Stephen Milam[/autotag] hit an RBI double to cut the lead to 8-5. [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] then hit a two-run homer to cut the lead to 8-7 with only one out.
