Big inning, solid pitching leads Auburn baseball past LSU
Auburn baseball lands a huge win in game one vs LSU.
BATON ROUGE, La. – Auburn used a six-run fifth inning and solid effort from three of its arms to defeat No. 12 LSU, 6-5, in the series opener at Alex Box Stadium Thursday night.
Trailing 2-0 after solo homers in the first and fourth innings, Auburn sent 10 batters to the plate in the top of the fifth and scored six runs on five hits, an intentional walk and an error to take a lead that it wouldn’t relinquish.
"We wound up scoring six, which barely held up here with a crazy crowd here at Alex Box," head coach Butch Thompson said. “That's us going for it tonight.”
