It was not a spring break trip for the LSU baseball team, but it could have been.
The No. 1 Tigers kicked sand in their third straight opponent’s face Sunday at the JAX College Baseball Classic in Jacksonville, Florida, with an 11-0, 10-run rule victory in seven innings over Central Florida on 10 hits and three-hit pitching from sophomore William Schmidt.
LSU (8-0) beat Indiana, 14-7, on Friday with 18 hits and defeated Notre Dame, 9-4, on Saturday with 12 hits.
Cade Arrambide hit his second home run in two days – a two-run shot in the top of the fifth inning for a 5-0 lead. Derek Curiel went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, including a two-run double in the seventh to put LSU up 10-0. And Jake Brown went 2-for-5 with three RBIs with a two-run single in the seventh for the 11-0 advantage. Steven Milam was 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
Mavrick Rizy allowed no hits over the final two innings with a strikeout. Schmidt (2-0) went five innings and walked one.
Brown had an RBI single in the third inning for a 1-0 lead before Trent Caraway hit a sacrifice fly and Milam scored on a balk.
LSU hosts McNeese State at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday on SEC Network+.
