LSU baseball beats Arkansas

BY PETER RAUTERKUS @peter_rauterkus

In the rubber match of a series of top five teams, LSU emphatically rose to the occasion.

The LSU offense was once again the driving force in that effort, as the Tigers put up doubledigit runs for the second game in a row.

The LSU bats got to work early. After giving up two runs to Arkansas in the top of the first, LSU responded with two of its own in the bottom of the inning coming on a two-run home run from Dylan Crews.

That home run was Crews’ third of the series and ninth of the season as his monstrous season continues.

“He’s the best baseball player I’ve ever seen,” head coach Jay Johnson said of Crews.

A few innings later, LSU exploded again, scoring eight runs combined in the third and fourth innings. Six of those came in the fourth where Gavin Dugas and Tommy White each hit a home run, driving in five runs between the two in the inning.
