The LSU Tigers dropped to 17-9 on the season and 1-6 in SEC play after a 13-1 loss to Vanderbilt in Baton Rouge on Thursday.

The No. 2 Commodores jumped on LSU right-hander Landon Marceaux in the fifth inning, scoring four runs to increase their lead to 5-0. Vanderbilt followed that inning with another four-run inning, and the game was suddenly 9-0.

Marceaux would depart in the sixth inning after giving up nine hits and nine runs — eight of which were earned — in 5.1 innings. He was charged with the loss and fell to 2-3 on the season.

LSU used three pitchers in the game, allowing a combined 17 hits, four walks and three wild pitches.

The Tigers scored their only run in the bottom of the sixth inning when freshman right fielder Dylan Crews singled to drive in first baseman Tre Morgan.

After the game, LSU coach Paul Mainieri was dejected.

“It certainly was a disappointing night; Vanderbilt has a great ball club, and they took advantage of every opportunity that we gave them,” said Mainieri.

“We take a lot of pride in wearing the LSU uniform and in representing the great legacy of this program in the best way possible, so we’re going to come out tomorrow and give it everything we have to compete at a high level.”

The Tigers host the Commodores again on Friday in game two of the series. LSU faces Vanderbilt sophomore right-hander Jack Leiter, one of the top pitchers in all of college baseball.

The first game went into extra innings when Tennessee center fielder Drew Gilbert homered to right field to give the Volunteers a 9-8 victory. Gilbert also tied the game in the ninth inning when he doubled to right field, sending the game into extra innings.

The loss erased a terrific performance from freshman first baseman Tre Morgan, who went five of six at the plate with one home run, three runs scored and two RBI.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri discussed the disappointing weekend for his team.

“It was a tough weekend, obviously, and I really hurt for our kids,” Mainieri said. “They played their hearts out the entire weekend and just came up short. We were just one at-bat or one pitch away from having a successful weekend.”

The Tigers return to Alex Box Stadium on Tuesday, where they will host South Alabama.

LSU baseball drops second straight SEC contest

For the first time this season, the LSU Tigers’ baseball team is on a losing streak. 

[mm-video type=video id=01f1ar8smhwsfhvd7x playlist_id=01eqbz5s7cf4w69e0n player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f1ar8smhwsfhvd7x/01f1ar8smhwsfhvd7x-307f398f2eb2b8b0573d64d35cf77e69.jpg]

For the first time this season, the LSU Tigers’ baseball team is on a losing streak.

LSU dropped its second consecutive game to Mississippi State on Saturday at Alex Box Stadium, 3-0. In the two games against the Bulldogs this weekend, the Tigers have scored just one run.

After a red-hot start to the season, LSU’s hitters have gone ice cold. Mississippi State had three pitchers combine to hold the Tigers to just five hits on Saturday.

After the game, LSU coach Paul Mainieri credited the Bulldogs’ pitching staff for shutting his team’s offense down.

“Mississippi State has a great pitching staff, and I give them a lot of credit, but we’ve got to find a way to generate some offense,” Mainieri said.

“Kids come to LSU because they want to challenge themselves against the best. If you want to play in the big leagues someday, you’ve got to rise up and hit this kind of pitching. It’s hard, but we’ve got to find a way to hit against them.”

Junior right-hander Landon Marceaux got the start for the Tigers and was outstanding. Marceaux went seven innings, allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out three batters. The only run he allowed was unearned.

Mississippi State scored its final two runs off LSU’s bullpen in the eighth and ninth innings.

The loss drops LSU to 15-5 on the season and 0-2 in SEC play.

The final game of this series is on Sunday at Alex Box Stadium as the Tigers look to avoid a sweep.

After UTSA didn’t score in the top of the 13th, LSU had one out in the bottom of the 12th when freshman Jordan Thompson blasted a solo home run to give LSU the thrilling 10-9 victory.
