Things started off rough for the Tigers, with A&M quickly putting themselves on the board in the first inning with a run, taking a 1-0 advantage. After a three up three down inning for both sides in the second, the third brought the tension to the Tigers. Kelly Lynch allowed the bases loaded with no outs, but was able to pull her team out of a tough spot with three strikeouts in a row. Lynch held A&M scoreless again in the top of the fourth, but LSU was still lackluster on offense. LSU mounted a scoring threat due to some confusion on a dropped third strike pitch by the A&M catcher, but it proved to be futile. The game headed to the fifth with the Aggies still holding a 1-0 lead. In the fifth, Lynch continued to hold her ground in the circle, allowing only fly balls. After Ali Newland landed the first hit against A&M, the Aggies made a pitching change. Taylor Pleasants responded with a double that pushed Ciara Briggs across the plate to tie the game. Newland made an incredible diving catch on a line drive to kick off the top of the sixth. Lynch allowed another walk that loaded the bases for A&M, forcing Coach Torina to bring in Sydney Berzon. Lynch left the circle having pitched 5.2 innings with 125 thrown and 6 strikeouts, staying solid against A&M until she stepped into the dugout. Berzon immediately showed A&M what she could do, getting that much needed ground ball from the batter for a 4-3 play to get LSU off the field. The bottom of the sixth is where Tiger Park came to life. Texas A&M chose to make another pitching change and that pitching change proving to be what sealed their fate. Maci Bergeron sent McKenzie Redoutey to third with a single, and took second on the throw. Savanna Bedell came in to pinch run for Bergeron. Maddox McKee gained an RBI on her ground ball before Bedell came home from third base on a wild pitch. Briggs followed with a single, loading the bases. Pleasants and Gutierrez were both walked in succession, putting two more up for the Tigers. The inning ended with LSU up 5-1. The Tigers made quick work of Texas A&M in the top of the seventh to end the game with two strikeouts and a ground ball from Berzon. With the win the Tigers win the series and are now 28-4 overall and 7-4 in SEC play. LSU will look to sweep the Aggies on Saturday, March, 30th at Tiger Park. First pitch is set for 2:00pm.
