Tigers Lose 5th Straight Conference Game

These baseball recaps are getting easier to write up. LSU (23-17. 6-11) has lost a second consecutive SEC weekend, losing game two of its series against #10 Texas A&M (30-7, 11-5) 7-2 Saturday evening at The Box.

After getting back to . 500 in league play two weekends ago against Tennessee, LSU has now dropped five straight SEC games and run the risk of being swept in back-to-back weekends. Saturday kind of followed the same beats that we’ve seen since SEC play started which is to say A&M got up early, and any time LSU responded with a run the Aggies would come back out and get that run back.

William Schmidt threw a career-high 105 pitches but couldn’t get out of the sixth inning. Schmidt allowed seven runs, all earned, off of seven hits, and had an even four walks and four strikeouts. If there is a silver lining, the bullpen had themselves a pretty solid evening.

Conner Benge might have given up a bases loaded single to the one and only batter that he faced, but outside of that the Tiger relievers didn’t allow a single earned run. True freshman Marcos Paz had arguably his best outing of 2026, pitching the final two innings and retiring six of the eight batters that he faced. Paz struck out three, issued a walk, and gave up one hit.
