BATON ROUGE, La. (Interstat) — The LSU Tigers stormed back from an early six-run hole to rout the Southern Jaguars 16-6 on Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium/Skip Bertman Field.

Southern capitalized on early control issues by LSU pitching, scoring all six of its runs in the second inning, highlighted by Jacoby Radcliffe’s two-run single. The Jaguars managed only five hits total.

The Tigers’ offense erupted in response, scoring five runs in the third and seven in the fourth to seize command. Steven Milam led the charge, going 3 for 4 with two home runs. John Pearson added a two-run homer and four RBIs, while Derek Curiel launched a four-run blast. Five LSU relievers combined for 5 1/3 scoreless innings.

LSU improved to 20-10, while Southern fell to 8-17.
