That’s one way to have your last opening weekend start. Jared Poche put himself in an elite class with a complete game no-hitter to sweep the doubleheader for LSU (2-0) against Army (0-3).
Neither team really got anything going until the bottom of the fifth when Josh Smith hit a sac fly that would send home Bryce Adams to put the Tigers on the board. Later in the inning, Kramer Robertson would put two more runs on the board with a triple hit deep down the right field line.
LSU would extend their lead with another three run inning capped off by an RBI single from Cole Freeman.
Poche starts off his season 1-0 with four strikeouts and no walks. This was the first individual no-hitter since 1979.
LSU ends the weekend against Air Force (2-1) with first pitch set for 1 pm.
