Weil OXFORD, MS - The Tigers looked to rebound from their disappointing loss to the Rebels on Friday night, instead they were embarrassed by Ole Miss in a 12-2 seventh inning run-rule defeat. After the second inning the LSU bats disappeared and the pitching was sadly erratic. This was a painful contest to watch if you were a LSU fan. The Bayou Bengals will try to avoid the sweep on Sunday afternoon. William Schmidt (4-3) started on the bump and only went 3.2 innings, giving up four runs on three hits. He walked four and struck out seven. Schmidt was charged with the loss. LSU used seven different pitchers throughout the game. They all struggled. The Tigers got on the board in the first inning. Derek Curiel started things with a two out walk. Cade Arrambide singled to right field. Steven Milam stepped up and doubled to the right field corner, brining Curiel home. With runners on second and third and two outs, John Pearson flied out to left field to end the LSU threat. We headed to the bottom of the opening frame with the Bayou Bnegals on top, 1-0. Mason Braun led off the second with a single to right field. Omar Serna doubled to left center, advancing Braun to third. Chris Stanfield flied out to center field, brining Braun home and Serna moved up to third with two outs. Brown struck out, stranding a runner on thrid. We moved to the bottom of the second with LSU now up, 2-0. Ole Miss finally got their bats going in the fourth inning, plating four runs to take a 4-2 advantage. The LSU bull pen had no answer for Ole Miss, as the Rebels exploded to extended their lead to 12-2, plating one run in the fifth and seven in the sixth. There were no signs of a pulse coming from the LSU players. Bats were ice cold and the pitching was totally terrible. With the loss, LSU falls to 22-14 overall and 6-8 in the SEC. Next, LSU will play Ole Miss in game three on Sunday, April 12 at 1:30pm. **Please be sure to go to our Da Boot Sports YouTube Channel every Monday night at 8pm CST for our live podcast, 'Talking Tigers with Da Boot Sports!'...

BATON ROUGE, LA - Bethune-Cookman came into Alex Box Stadium on Tuesday night and upset the LSU Fighting Tigers, 10-7 in front of 10,847 shocked Tiger fans. LSU missed out on several opportunities to plate runs, leaving several runners stranded throughout the contest.
Marcos Paz got the start on the bump for the Bayou Bengals and only lasted one inning. He gave up two runs on three hits. LSU pitching struggled all night, using eight different arms out of the bull pen. Santiago Garcia (1-1) was charged with the loss for LSU.
Steven Milam led off the bottom of the first with a base on balls. Jake Brown followed with a walk. John Pearson flied out to deep left field, advancing Milam to third. Derek Curiel then singled to left field to bring Milam home. Runners on first and second with only one out. Brown was able to move to third on a throwing error. Brown was able to score while Curiel was caught in a run down between first and second. Curiel was tagged for the second out. Seth Dardar was issued a base on balls. Cade Arrambide singled up the middle, but Dardar was thrown out trying to take third base to end the inning. We moved to the second with LSU leading, 2-0.
B-Cookman got to Paz in the second inning with three straight singles to plate a run, forcing Jay Johnson to make a change, bringing in Connor Benge. Benge entered the contest with runners on the corners with no outs. Arrambide was able to throw out a Wildcat runner attempting to steal second base. Benge struggled terribly to record the final out, but not before the Wildcats plated two more runs. We headed to the bottom of the frame with Bethune-Cookman on top, 3-2.
The Tigers responded. Mason Braun started things off with a single up the middle. Edward Yamin walked. Jake Brown singled off of the right field wall, scoring Braun and sending Yamin to third with two outs. We left the second inning in a 3-3 tie.
Curiel started the bottom of the third with a single to right field. After Dardar flied out, Arrambide doubled to center field to score Curiel. We headed to the third inning with LSU back on top, 4-3.
The Wildcat's Jorge Rodriguez, smashed a solo homer over the left field wall to tie the game at 4-4 in the top of the fourth inning.
Milam led off the bottom of the fourth with a walk. Milam was able to advance all the way to third base on a bad pick off throw by the pitcher, Pearson was then hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners with one out. Curiel singled up the middle to bring Milam home. LSU regained the lead, 5-4 as the fourth inning ended.
Bethune-Cookman refused to go away, plating another run in the fifth inning to tie the game at 5-5.
Jake Brown launched a lead off homer over the right field wall in the bottom of the sixth inning. We moved to the seventh inning with LSU leading, 6-5.
You guessed it, LSU's shaky pitching allowed the Wildcats to score again in the top of the seventh. B-Cookman took advantage of terrible, inconsistent pitching from the LSU bull pen, putting up five runs to take a 10-6 advantage into the bottom of the seventh.
Braun led off the bottom of the seventh being hit by a pitch. Yamin singled to center field. Daniel Harden was hit by a pitch to load the bases with no outs. Milam, Brown and Pearson all struck out, back to back to back to leave the bases loaded. We moved to the eighth inning with LSU trailing, 10-6.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – LSU designated hitter Cade Arrambide set a school record with four home runs Sunday, leading the Tigers to a 16-6, 12-inning win over Tennessee at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
LSU improved to 22-11 overall, 6-6 in the SEC, while Tennessee dropped to 20-12 overall and 4-8 in conference play.
Arrambide was 5-for-6 on the day with four homers and seven RBI, establishing the LSU record for most home runs in a single game. His grand slam in the top of the 12th inning highlighted a 10-run LSU outburst that broke at 6-6 tie.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when they play host to Bethune-Cookman in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“That win is definitely up there in my coaching career,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “I mean, what a comeback by our team, I’m just so proud of our players. There were so many layers to what happened, and so many players making huge contributions to the win.
“What special performance by Cade Arrambide, and there were so many guys who made clutch plays. This is important to them, we’ve fought a lot here lately, and this is a great weekend for our program.”
LSU reliever Gavin Guidry (4-3) earned the win for the Tigers, working the final 5.1 innings and limiting Tennessee to one run on two hits with one walk and one strikeout.
Volunteers reliever Brayden Krenzel (1-3) was charged with the loss, as he allowed the first run of the Tigers’ 12th inning.
Tennessee led 5-0 after scoring five unearned runs in the bottom of the third inning, capitalizing on three LSU errors. The outburst was highlighted by a grand slam from leftfielder Blaine Brown, marking his ninth homer of the year.
Arrambide launched a solo shot in the fifth inning, his fifth homer of the year, narrowing the deficit to 5-1.
The Tigers struck for three runs in the seventh on back-to-back-to-back solo home runs by third baseman John Pearson, by Arrambide and by second baseman Seth Dardar.
The sequence marked the first time that LSU homered in three straight plate appearances since May 9, 2023, when Tommy White, Cade Beloso and Hayden Travinski homered in consecutive at-bats against Northwestern State.
LSU tied the game in the top of the ninth when rightfielder Jake Brown provided a two-out RBI single.
The Tigers took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 11th when Arrambide blasted his third homer of the game, but Tennessee knotted the contest again when catcher Levi Clark delivered a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the frame.

Mercurius (5-1) allowed two runs on four hits in 5.1 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts, firing 83 pitches.
Reliever Jackson Cleveland earned his fourth save of the season for the Sooners by holding the Tigers scoreless in the ninth inning after allowing a one-out single by second baseman Seth Dardar.
