Who knew that Demons liked rain? In Tuesday's nonconference game against Northwestern State, LSU baseball held a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning, and then the rain came and washed the lead away. The Demons outscored LSU 13-1 after the rain delay as they run-ruled the Tigers at Alex Box Stadium.
Head coach Jay Johnson got a little creative with the lineup tonight as Jared Jones started at third base and Jake Brown started at first. Derek Curiel led off the game with a solo shot to put the Tigers up 1-0 early. In the bottom of the second inning, Josh Pearson followed that up with a solo shot of his own to make it 2-0 Tigers.
In the top of the third inning, we entered a weather delay for lightning in the area. After a rain delay that lasted an hour and a half, play resumed, and the Demons got hot. Northwestern State would go on to score six runs in the top of the third to take a 6-3 lead. Two runs were charged to Jaden Noot, two runs were charged to Cooper Williams, and two runs were charged to Connor Benge.
As I mentioned earlier, Coach Johnson decided to start Jones at third base to see how his defense would play at the hot corner. The experiment did not go well as the Demons scored two runs off of two errors by him, as they extended their lead to 7-3. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Jake Brown cut into the Northwestern State lead to make it 7-3.
In the top of the sixth inning, the Demons extended their lead, scoring three more runs to make it 10-3 Northwestern State. As we headed to the bottom of the sixth inning, the Demons had outscored LSU 10-1 since the weather delay.
In the top of the seventh, Northwestern State scored three more runs, and all of a sudden, we were on the brink of LSU getting run-ruled in their own house by Northwestern State as the score was extended to 13-3. LSU was unable to score any runs in the bottom of the seventh and the game ended with the Tigers losing 13-3.
With the loss, LSU drops to 34-8 overall and 12-6 in conference play. This weekend, LSU will welcome Tennessee into town in what should be one of the best matchups in the country. Game one is slated to start Friday at 6:30 PM CT.
