Baton Rouge, LA- Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers won their fourth consecutive game Saturday night, and earned their second SEC series victory with a 3-2 win over Auburn in walk off fashion.

LSU’s Luke Holman picked up the victory, his seventh of the season, by dealing nine strikeouts over 6 ⅔ innings pitched. He gave up two runs and hits while walking three.

In a low-scoring affair, a majority of the damage was done in the third and fourth innings for both squads.

Auburn struck first in the top of the third frame. Deric Fabian reached first off a bunt, but a throwing error from LSU allowed the junior infielder to reach scoring position at second base. A fielder’s choice Chris Stanfield sent Fabian across home plate. The Tigers led 1-0.

That lead would not last very long as LSU clawed back in the bottom half of the frame. With two outs, Tommy “Tanks” White and Jared “Bear” Jones delivered back-to-back solo home runs to put the Tigers in front, sending the Alex Box crowd into an eruption.

Although leading 2-1, LSU just couldn’t hold onto it as the teams headed to the fourth inning. Another day, another Tiger error allowed an Auburn base runner to score. Auburn had runners at second and third before a wild pitch got away, allowing Christian Hall to score, tying the game at two apiece.

No more scoring would come until the ninth inning. LSU’s Alex Milazzo got a lead off single to fall in the shallow outfield. He was then advanced to second base after a SAC bunt off the bat of Mac Bingham.

Ashton Larson hit a line drive out to right field, but the ball was hit so hard that Milazzo could only advance to third instead of rounding towards home. Tommy White had an unfortunate strikeout when he came to bat, and the Tigers decided to intentionally walk Jared Jones. This sent Josh Pearson to the plate with the bases loaded, and two outs.

Pearson delivered in the clutch. He sent a hard hit fly ball sailing over the center fielder’s head. Milazzo touched home plate, and chaos ensued as the Tiger fans whooped and shouted, celebrating the continued winning streak.

LSU will look to sweep Auburn on Sunday when they play at 1 p.m. CST. You can
