LSU Tigers Continue Tear Through SEC

Senior Analyst Written on May 15, 2008

On April 20^th, it appeared the Tigers should focus their attention on “next year”. The Tigers watched as their seven run lead evaporated into the hot Louisiana sun. Sure this was the Georgia Bulldogs they were playing, the SEC leaders, but it’s just unacceptable to blow that kind of lead. The Tigers settled for a 10-10 tie thanks to travel restrictions, but the weekend ended without a victory, and with the Tigers looking for answers.

How could the Tigers salvage the season? Win every game the rest of the way? Yeah, right. Sure. We will get right on that. Wait…what? Are you serious? They did?

They sure did! The Tigers bounced back from that tie nearly one month ago, and rattled off 14 straight victories. For those not too close to LSU baseball, you may think the road just got easier at the end. Well that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The Tigers swept nationally ranked South Carolina in Baton Rouge before going on the road to sweep another nationally ranked team in Kentucky. A team that had only loss two, count them…1…2, games at home the entire season.

The Tigers returned home to sweep the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and traveled to Metarie, LA on Tuesday night to face the University of New Orleans in the Wally Pontiff Jr. Classic. UNO entered the game with the longest win streak (13 games) in the country. The Tigers prevailed with a 7-6 victory in 15 innings, giving the Tigers the longest win streak in the country. The Tigers headed to the showers, then hopped on a bus and headed for Auburn, AL.
