Live Updates: LSU Baseball vs. Georgia Game 2

Tigers look to carry their success from Thursday night into Game 2, Ty Floyd takes the mound.

LSU comes into Friday night's showdown at Georgia with the chance to claim another SEC series with a win against the Bulldogs in Athens.

Ty Floyd hits the mound for the Tigers as this program looks to get it done on the road versus a fiery opponent in Georgia. After taking home a win on Thursday in extra innings, LSU has the chance to earn a series win to cap off the regular season. 

Here are a few notes ahead of the Friday night matchup, what Jay Johnson said of Georgia and a live game log from Game 2: 

Notes: 

• The Tigers are No. 1 in the SEC in team batting average (.314), and LSU has collected 100 doubles, 13 triples and 104 home runs … the LSU pitching staff is No. 6 in the SEC with a 4.68 cumulative ERA, and the Tigers have recorded 570 strikeouts in 438.1 innings while allowing a .226 opponent batting average and 46 home runs.
• Junior leftfielder Tre’ Morgan recorded the first two-homer game of his career when he launched two dingers in last Sunday’s game versus Mississippi State … Morgan drove in six runs and scored five times in the weekend series against the Bulldogs.
• Junior catcher Hayden Travinski is hitting .700 (7-for-10) in his last four games with one double, three homers and six RBI … he started two games behind the plate in the Mississippi State series, and he hit .600 (3-for-5) with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored … Travinski has homered once in each of LSU’s last four SEC series – at Ole Miss, Alabama, at Auburn and Mississippi State.

What Jay Johnson Said: 

“We’re excited for this trip, we’re going to go to Athens to wrap up the regular season, and we want to finish it the right way. We’re excited to get on the road – we have some work we need to continue to do. It will be a very business-oriented trip, but I think it will be good for us to be together and work on improving our team. Georgia has a very talented, veteran roster, and (UGA head coach) Scott Stricklin is an excellent coach, so we know we’ll be facing another tremendous challenge in the SEC.”
