The LSU Tigers were able to take care of business on Sunday afternoon with a 7-1 win over Arkansas (26-22, 7-17 SEC) to complete the sweep.
The Tigers got on the board in the bottom of the second with a two run single up the middle from Brennan Breaux to take the early lead.
LSU exploded in the bottom of the fifth with four runs highlighted by a three run shot to left field by Jordan Romero.
Jake Fraley helped put what would be the nail in the coffin with a single up the middle that would score Greg Deichmann.
Arkansas was able to avoid being shutout in the top of the ninth when Cullen Gassaway hit a single up the middle that would send Austin Catron home safely for the Razorbacks sole run.
Caleb Gilbert improved to 4-2 on the year throwing five shutout innings. Gilbert allowed only five hits, walked one, and struck out two on the afternoon.
The Tigers (31-16, 14-10 SEC) will head up to South Bend to take on Paul Mainieri’s former team in Notre Dame in a two-game series starting on Tuesday with first pitch set for 5 pm.
