College Station, Texas – LSU baseball faced off against Texas A&M in a doubleheader on Saturday, splitting the contests with a 3-1 loss in the first game, followed by a 2-1 victory in the second.
In Game 1, LSU struggled to convert its opportunities into runs, despite an impressive performance from Kade Anderson on the mound. Jared Jones provided the offensive highlight for LSU, hitting a solo home run, but it was not enough to overcome Texas A&M’s strong play.
Game 1 finalized with Texas A&M taking a 3-1 win over LSU, leaving both teams looking for an edge going into the second game of the day at Blue Bell Park.
Game 2 saw LSU bounce back with a crucial win, which brought their record to 38-10 overall and 15-8 in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The victory was pivotal for the Tigers to even the series against Texas A&M and set up a decisive rubber match scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m.
Key to LSU’s success in Game 2 was pitcher Anthony Eyanson, who delivered an outstanding performance. Eyanson pitched a complete game, striking out 14 batters while allowing only 1 run and 3 hits. He showcased remarkable efficiency, throwing just 44 pitches through the first four innings. Notably, he did not concede a hit until the fifth inning and limited Texas A&M’s offense effectively, despite surrendering a home run in the sixth inning.
Offensively, LSU adapted their lineup for Game 2. One significant change was Jared Jones moving to the leadoff position for the first time this season, a strategy that paid off as he led off the sixth inning with a double. Following him, Ethan Frey also delivered with a double, marking LSU’s first lead of the doubleheader at 1-0. LSU extended its lead to 2-0 thanks to a successful bunt by senior Josh Pearson that allowed Jones to score.
Ethan Frey was a standout in Game 2, finishing with 3 hits, one of which was an RBI double that contributed to LSU’s scoring efforts. Jared Jones capitalized on his newfound leadoff position by concluding the game with 3 hits in 4 at-bats, rebounding from a tough 1 for 10 slump prior to the series.
In contrast, Game 1 was characterized by missed opportunities for LSU, with the bats going silent in the later innings. LSU head coach Jay Johnson made strategic adjustments, shifting players Derek Curiel, Pearson, and Frey within the batting order, aimed at generating a spark in the second game.
Prior to the doubleheader, Texas A&M held a record of 26-20, with a 9-14 mark in SEC play. With the split, LSU and Texas A&M are set to determine the series winner in the final game. Coverage of both games was provided on SEC Network+ and available for streaming via ESPN and Fubo.
The overall performance showcased LSU’s resilience, and the upcoming rubber match on Sunday promises to be a decisive and thrilling conclusion to the series against Texas A&M.
