Instant Analysis: LSU stops the rally to survive Game 2 against Mississippi State

After having a 9-1 lead early in the game, LSU had to fend off a comeback to win 9-8 in Game 2.

After having a 9-1 lead early in the game, LSU had to fend off a comeback to win 9-8 in Game 2 against Mississippi State.

LSU entered Game 2 looking to rebound after a 10-4 loss in Game 1 on Friday. To do that, they would need the offense to score some runs. That’s exactly what they did.

It seemed as though pitching was optional for both teams in this one as both teams put up a lot of runs. It felt like a game where the team that got to bat last would still have a chance to win.

LSU put up a three spot in the top of the first inning thanks to [autotag]Jared Jones[/autotag] and [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] both hitting homers to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.

In the top of the second inning, LSU scored two more runs due to a two-run homer by [autotag]Mac Bingham[/autotag] to extend the lead to 5-0.

The Bulldogs scored a run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the second inning to cut the lead to 5-1. LSU got that run back plus three more as [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit a two-run homer and White hit a two-RBI double with bases loaded to extend the lead to 9-1.

Seems like a comfortable lead, right? Wrong. The game was flipped on its head in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings as Mississippi State scored five runs between those two innings to cut the lead to 9-6. [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag] was chased from the mound after only 3.2 innings. He gave up four runs on four hits, three strikeouts, and three walks.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Bulldogs scored two more runs and just like that, we had a one-run game. In the bottom of the eighth inning, the Bulldogs had runners on first and second with only one out as [autotag]Christian Little[/autotag] entered to pitch for the Tigers. White would then make an incredible 5-3 double play to get LSU out of the inning.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, [autotag]Nate Ackenhausen[/autotag] entered to pitch for the Tigers to try and secure the win. He retired the hitters 1-2-3 and ended the game as LSU won 9-8.

Game 3 will be Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.
