LSU welcomed Grambling into Baton Rouge after winning a series against the Arkansas Razorbacks and the offense picked up where it left off with a 17-5 run-rule win.

The Tigers scored two runs in the first two innings as Gavin Dugas scored on a Tre Morgan RBI single and Jared Jones scored on a Dugas sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.

In the top of the third inning, Grambling took the lead on a three-run homer against Blake Money to give them a 3-2 lead. That lead didn’t last long as LSU scored five runs in the bottom of the third. Cade Beloso and Jones hit homers and Jordan Thompson scored on an Alex Milazzo single to make it 7-3 Tigers.

The Tigers never looked back after that. LSU scored eight runs in the bottom of the fourth off of a Beloso single, a Paxton Kling single, a Ben Nippolt single, a Brayden Jobert single, and some throwing errors to make it 15-3 LSU after four innings.

Grambling scored one more run in the top of the sixth to cut the lead to 15-4 but LSU got that run back and another as they scored two in the bottom of the sixth. Kling scored on a sacrifice fly by Ethan Frey and Hayden Travinski scored on a wild pitch to make it 17-4 after six innings.

Micah Bucknam pitched the seventh for the Tigers and Grambling welcomed him with a solo homer to cut the lead to 17-5. That wasn’t enough to stop the run rule as the Tigers won big.

LSU will welcome the Tennessee Vols to Alex Box Stadium this weekend for what should be a great series. The first pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT Thursday.
