    LSU heads 136 miles west for their first road game of the season. the last time LSU played McNeese in Lake Charles (in 2000), LSU lost 3-4 in an 11-inning game

    Tonight marks the first career start for RHP Aaron Nola as a Tiger. he's supposed to be a freshman sensation, and Mainieri says he expects that he'll go down as one of the all-time LSU greats before his career is over. last year he was the 5A Louisiana Player of the Year and Mr. Baseball in Louisiana. He was 21-2 as a starter in high school and led Catholic to the Louisiana Class 5A title

    for LSU, Nola has recorded eight strikeouts in five innings this season, and opponents are batting just .111 against him.

    5-0 LSU in the 2nd

    LSU got 2 runs in 1st off an RBI single by Rhyme, and an RBI ground out by Nola

    LSU got 3 runs in the 2nd off a 3-RUN HOME RUN by Katz!

    Tigers come roaring back in top 7th:

    Jones flies out to warning track, Katz knocks it over the CF for a double, and gets to 3rd on a passed ball. Rhymes walks, runners on 1st and 3rd. Nola knocks a grounder to SS who flips it wide to 2nd, Katz scores. 6-4 Hanover clears the bases with a 2-RBI double. 8-4. Yocum walks. Wild pitch, runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. Another wild pitch, run scores. 9-4. Ross grounds out to 2nd, but the run scores. 10-4. Fields pops out to 2b.

    10-4 LSU
