Weil BATON ROUGE, LA - No. 9 Florida came into Alex Box Stadium/Skip Bertman Field and defeated LSU, 11-8 in game one of their SEC series. LSU pitchers struggled all night, giving up 14 free passes at the plate. Danny Lachenmayer got the start on the bump on Thursday night and had a terrible outing.

LSU used seven pitchers in the contest. The Gators jumped all over Lachenmayer in the first inning. Back to back singles, followed by a base on balls, loaded the bases with no outs. Ethan Surowiec then blasted a grand slam over the right field wall. A double and back to back walks loaded the bases again, this time with two outs, forcing Jay Johnson to go to his bullpen very early in the contest.
