AU 3-8-1
LSU 7-11-1

3-0 for the week. Not too shabby!

Wow! 17 Ks for the LSU pitchers. Those kinds of performances are what we want. Now let's hope the Tigers bats wake up for the rest of the year!

Auburn 3-8-1
LSU 7-11-1 (13 lob)

Ranaudo gets the win. Ott the save.

OK. Now to take Saturday's game. One game at a time.

Ranaudo is a beast. 15 K's, one short of the LSU record in SEC play by Kurt Ainsworth. Before today, Ranaudo was #1 in the SEC in K's, #1 in the SEC in opposing batting avg, and #2 in the SEC in ERA (behind only Coleman). He was also the only underclassmen in the top 5 of the entire NCAA with the most K's per nine innings. And that was all before today.
