In the top of the fourth inning, Auburn tied the game as they scored a run on a wild pitch to make it 2-2. Holman was pulled from the game after 6.2 innings. Holman gave up only two hits and two runs (one earned run) as he struck out nine hitters and walked three over that span. It was a nice bounce-back game for him.
Gavin Guidry entered to pitch after Holman. Guidry, Nate Ackenhausen, and Thatcher Hurd combined to give up zero runs over the last 2.1 innings of the game. In the bottom of the ninth, Josh Pearson hit an RBI single to center to walk it off as LSU won 3-2.
