LSU played its first weekend away from Alex Box Stadium and took care of business. The Tigers are Frisco Classic champions after going 3-0 over the weekend.

After wins over Kansas State and Nebraska, Sam Houston State was the final opponent. LSU took care of business, winning 12-8. The championship win called for a celebration, so the Tigers decided to take a dip in the lazy river.

The Tigers got on the board first in the bottom of the 2nd, a 7-run inning. LSU’s bats would add 2 more in the 3rd and 4th and 1 more in the 7th to get to 12 runs. The final 3 innings were scoreless for both teams.

Sam Houston scored in 4 consecutive innings, including a 4-run 6th to make it an 11-8 ballgame. LSU’s Casey Shores got the win to improve to 3-0. Shores went 5 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 7 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5 on 89 pitches (57 strikes). Jaden Noot picked up a save on an 8-pitch outing, collecting the final 2 outs.

At the plate, 5 Tigers had multi-RBI days. Ethan Frey led the way with the 3 he collected on a home run in the 2nd inning.

Now 10-1, LSU will look to extend its winning streak on Tuesday at home against North Dakota State.
