LSU welcomed the Auburn Tigers to the Bayou for a weekend series as both teams tried to win their way into the conference tournament. Gage Jump started on the mound for LSU and he shut out Auburn 5-0 in Game 1.
LSU got the scoring started in the bottom of the fourth inning via the long ball. Tommy White hit a solo shot to give LSU a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the fifth inning, that trend continued as Hayden Travinski hit a solo shot of his own to give LSU a 2-0 lead.
The score remained 2-0 LSU until the bottom of the seventh inning when LSU tacked on three more runs. Alex Milazzo hit a two-RBI double and Ashton Larson hit an RBI single to extend the LSU lead to 5-0.
