LSU’s offense kept the momentum going on Saturday afternoon with another dominant performance on the way to an 11-2 win over Mississippi State to take the road series.
How It Happened:
Antoine Duplantis wasted little time getting the Tigers on the board with a leadoff home run out to right field. Giovanni DiGiacomo got things going once again in the fourth with an RBI double out to left center and made it 3-0 later in the inning when he scored off of a wild pitch.
After Chris Reid made it 4-0 in the fifth with a sac fly out to center field, the Tigers offense really piled it on in the seventh inning with a four-run inning highlighted by an RBI single from CJ Willis.
Duplantis slammed the door shut in the eighth inning with another solo shot to give them a 9-0 lead.
Big Number: 12
While the score shows that it was a dominant performance, you dive a little further into the stats, you see it was very much feast or famine with 12 Tigers striking out on the afternoon.
Player of the Game: Antoine Duplantis
Duplantis continues to put it together and two home runs in the rubber game was a big reason for LSU to win the series.
