BATON ROUGE, LA- LSU’s 4-game winning streak came to a close on Sunday afternoon with a 7-5 loss against the Auburn Tigers. It was a disappointing loss for Jay Johnson’s crew who could not secure the sweep after winning the tilts on Friday and Saturday night.

Auburn torched the Tigers early in the contest with a five run first inning, forcing an early exit for Kade Anderson.

A leadoff double from Chris Stanfield got things going for the Tigers before two outs followed. LSU looked primed to escape the early threat, but the wheels fell off the wagon after four hits and a wild pitch aided Auburn in getting five base runners across the plate.

The home team could not get a player on base through the first two innings, going down in order. Auburn led 5-0, but struck again in the top of the third with an RBI single from Cade Belyeu, extending the lead.

LSU finally got onto the board in the bottom of the third frame with an RBI single from Ashton Larson, scoring Michael Braswell III.

The Bayou Bengals got within striking distance in the bottom of the fourth inning. Steven Milam earned a 3-RBI home run after back-to-back base hits from Hayden Travinski and Braswell. Monster Milam brought LSU to within two, 6-4.

The fifth inning was quiet before Auburn scored a much needed insurance run in the sixth to go back up by three. Belyeu came across home to make it 7-4.

A pitching battle ensued between bullpens, and LSU could only muster one more run in the bottom of the seventh. Auburn held on to the lead and secured the 7-5 victory.

Next up, LSU will continue their home stand with a Tuesday night matchup with the Grambling Tigers at Alex Box Stadium at 6:30 pm CST. Geaux Tigers!
