Photos from LSU baseball’s Game 2 loss to Vanderbilt on Friday night

LSU will look to take the series in Game 3 on Saturday.

The LSU baseball team had a chance to secure its first SEC series win of the year in Game 2 on Friday night against Vanderbilt, and late in the game, it looked like it had a decent chance to.

The Tigers held a 6-5 lead entering the eighth, but a late rally from the Commodores that saw them score three runs in the final two frames ultimately erased that lead and evened the series with an 8-6 win, setting up a rubber match on Saturday.

It was a solid start on the mound from [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag], who went 5.1 innings and allowed just four runs, but [autotag]Nate Ackenhausen[/autotag] allowed the three late runs in relief.

Here are the photos from the loss, which dropped the Tigers to 3-8 in SEC play.

LSU began the weekend with a much-needed top-10 win.

LSU came into the weekend desperately needing a series win, and coach Jay Johnson’s team got the start it needed on Thursday night.

The Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 10-6 victory over the No. 6 Commodores. The bats got going early as LSU jumped out to a 9-0 lead in large part thanks to a six-spot in the third.

[autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag] was fantastic on the mound yet again. Though he allowed four earned runs, he also only gave up four hits while striking out 10 and issuing no walks.

LSU had some issues in relief, allowing six runs in the fourth and fifth innings as Vandy mounted a comeback, but it was too little, too late. Now, the Tigers have a chance to secure a massive series win on Friday night in Game 2.

In the meantime, here are the photos from Thursday’s win.

New logos, old Texas roots on display in 2024 Valero Texas Open merchandise shop

The event is boasting a revamped logo scheme, one that leans even heavier into the tournament’s Texas roots.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Now more than a century old, the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio has done some moving in its day.

The tournament — which was previously held at Brackenridge Park, Willow Springs, Fort Sam Houston, Oak Hills Country Club and La Cantera before settling on its current home at TPC San Antonio — started Thursday with one of the strongest fields in decades. Among those vying for the title are world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Max Homa, Collin Morikawa, past champion Jordan Spieth, two-time champ Corey Conners and many others looking to get their final Masters prep in.

But while the venue has changed, the logos associated with the tournament have only seen some minor tweaks through the years. That changed in 2024, however, as the merchandise tent is boasting a number of new items and a revamped logo scheme, one that leans even heavier into the tournament’s Texas roots. Some of this is available online but the head covers are exclusive to this shop just off the 18th fairway at the Oaks Course.

Here’s a look at what’s available at the merchandise tent this week:

Photos from LSU women’s basketball’s Elite Eight loss to Iowa

In a rematch of last year’s national title game, it wasn’t LSU’s night.

LSU’s hopes of repeating as women’s basketball national champions were dashed in the Elite Eight on Monday night against Iowa. With a 94-87 loss to the top seed in the region, its season came to an end.

The Tigers started the game well, leading at the end of the first quarter and taking a tie to the locker room. But the Hawkeyes dominated the second half as Caitlin Clark took control of the game, scoring 41 points.

It could very well have been Angel Reese’s last game with the Tigers, who finish the season at 31-6. Here are the photos from the loss in Albany.

The Tigers held on in the fourth quarter to move on to the Elite Eight yet again.

It was a nail-biter for nearly its entire 40-minute run-time, but LSU survived and advanced as the lower seed in its Sweet 16 matchup against No. 2 UCLA on Saturday.

The Tigers led by seven at the half but found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter. Still, coach Kim Mulkey’s team managed to pull away in the final minutes despite [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] fouling out in large part thanks to a game-high 24-point outing from [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag].

Now, the Tigers will face either top-seeded Iowa or Colorado in the Elite Eight on Monday night. For now, here are the best photos from the win.

What a week to be a resident of Houston.

Not only is the PGA Tour’s 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open in town, the Astros have their Opening Day game Thursday afternoon against the New York Yankees, and the Houston Cougars men’s basketball team is in the Sweet 16 of March Madness.

Sports are awesome, aren’t they?

But the Houston Astros have their fingerprints all over the Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course, a municipal facility about 5 miles west of downtown. The Astros Golf Foundation runs the tournament, and the logo has the same colors as do the Major League Baseball team.

The merchandise tent also has a heavy Astros flair, with orange, blue and white shirts, hats, pullovers and plenty more.

After a month in Florida, the PGA Tour is in Houston for the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course, a municipal layout nestled roughly five miles west of downtown. It’s the first playing of the tournament since November 2022, when Tony Finau set a tournament scoring record in his victory.

Finau is back to defend his title, but also in the field is Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 who has won his last two starts at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship, and Wyndham Clark, who has finished runner-up at both events.
