The LSU Tigers faced a disappointing conclusion to their series against Texas A&M, falling 6-4 in the rubber match on Sunday after a hard-fought game that saw multiple lead changes. This loss brings LSU’s overall record to 38 wins and 11 losses, with a 15-9 mark in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play. Texas A&M improved to 26-20 overall and 9-14 in SEC games.
LSU jumped out to an early lead with two runs in the second inning, but the momentum shifted in the sixth when Texas A&M managed to tie the game with two runs of their own. LSU regained control with a two-run homer from catcher Luis Hernandez in the sixth inning, initially putting LSU ahead 4-2. However, the Aggies responded strongly, with Caden Sorrell hitting a decisive three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, granting Texas A&M their first lead of the game at 6-4.
In terms of pitching, LSU relied heavily on their bullpen, using seven different pitchers throughout the game. Freshman pitcher Casan Evans faced significant challenges early on, accumulating a season-high pitch count of 93 by the fourth inning before being taken out after walking two batters. Notably, standout reliever Zac Cowan was unable to contain the Aggies in the crucial eighth inning, where he surrendered the three-run homer that ultimately determined the outcome. Conversely, Chase Shores, who has transitioned from a starting role to relief, allowed only one run in his two innings of work.
Offensively, the bottom half of the LSU lineup made a significant impact, combining for five hits, four RBIs, and two runs. Steven Milam recorded an RBI single during the game, although his season batting average dropped to .289. Hernandez’s performance was also highlighted by a double that drove in Ethan Frey, marking LSU’s first lead of the game in the fourth inning.
The match took place at Blue Bell Park and was available for streaming on SEC Network+ and ESPN+. Following this series, LSU has now lost their last two SEC road series, placing additional pressure on their upcoming games as they aim to secure a National Seed in the NCAA Tournament.
In their next games, LSU will look to bounce back and regain their footing, aiming to improve their standing in the competitive conference and enhance their NCAA tournament prospects.
