LSU Baseball's Reign Ends as Tigers Fall, Struggle Continues
LSU baseball is down and struggling again, but can it snap out of its slump? #LSUBaseball #CollegeBaseball
The Louisiana State University baseball team has taken a dramatic hit to its standing in college athletics with an unexpected drop from #1 or #2 status in the College Baseball Coaches Poll. The Tigers were the first school listed and racked up a respectable 70 points but have only won four games out of their opening six rounds, including losses to Vanderbilt and Sac State, and a midweek defeat to Louisiana on March 4th. LSU's recent struggles are marked with an ERA over 5.
00 and ranking outside the top ten in batting average and OPS. Despite this, the Tigers managed a dominating effort in their most recent series against Vanderbilt by scoring 16 runs in back-to-back losses for the SEC champs. LSU will look to build momentum from that performance on Tuesday night as they attempt to turn things around.
