LSU starting pitcher Casan Evans (2-2) was charged with the loss as he allowed six runs on seven hits in 5.0 innings with three walks and eight strikeouts.<\/p>\n
\u201cTexas A&M is a good offensive team, and they took advantage of their opportunities with two outs and runners in scoring position,\u201d said LSU coach Jay Johnson. \u201cWe had some opportunities with 10 hits tonight, but we\u2019ve got to do a better job of cashing in on those opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
A solo homer by LSU shortstop Steven Milam in the bottom of the fourth inning tied the game 1-1, but the Aggies responded with three runs in the top of the fifth when third baseman Chris Hacopian and designated hitter Jake Duer produced back-to-back two-out RBI singles.<\/p>\n

Trailing 8-2 in the eighth, the Tigers scored two runs when the Aggies misplayed catcher Omar Serna Jr.\u2019s ground ball and third baseman John Pearson lifted a sacrifice fly, but Wilson\u2019s second two-run homer of the game in the ninth inning gave Texas A&M a 10-4 advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BATON ROUGE, La. \u2013 Texas A&M rightfielder Jorian Wilson hit two home runs and collected four RBI Friday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1816,1191,1194,1192,1190,1189,786,52226,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-256660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-baseball","tag-geaux-tigers","tag-latest-news","tag-louisiana","tag-louisiana-state-university","tag-lsu","tag-lsu-tigers","tag-sport-homepage-feature-headline","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
