The No. 2 ranked LSU Softball team hosted the No. 3 ranked Texas Longhorns at Tiger Park on Tuesday morning. In a top-3 battle, the LSU Tigers knocked off the Longhorns 7-4 behind a five-run first inning.
Texas starting pitcher, Teagan Kavan, entered the game 10-0 with a 1.22 ERA, but she was relieved after giving up five runs, three hits, one walk and two HBP in just 0.2 innings. After that, the Tigers would struggle to hit against the Longhorn relievers, scoring two runs on four hits to end the game, but it didn't matter as the Sydney Berzon limited the Longhorns to four runs on nine hits.
The Tigers now move to 23-0 and will host Ole Miss in a three game series this upcoming weekend. We'll see if the Tigers can leap the Oklahoma Sooners for No. 1 in the polls.
Top Performers:
Ciara Briggs: 2-for-3, RBI, 2 Runs
Ali Newland: 1-for-3, RBI
Taylor Pleasants: 1-for-2, RBI, 1 Run
Raleen Gutierrez: 1-for-3, RBI, 1 Run
Kelly Lynch: 1-for-2, 3 RBI
