Defense and Catcher Notes

LSU got the win, but it wasn’t pretty.

The Tigers beat Grambling 7-1 at Alex Box Stadium, but didn’t record an RBI hit until the eighth inning against a pitching staff with an ERA north of 9.00. We break down a frustrating night for the LSU offense, why situational hitting continues to be an issue, and whether this is just a midweek blip or a bigger concern.

On the flip side, LSU’s pitching staff was outstanding. Five relievers combined to shut the door over the final 5.1 innings, allowing just two hits while striking out nine. We highlight the arms that stood out and why that could be a major positive moving forward.

Plus, Omar Serna’s big night, Zach Yorke’s elite plate discipline, and a look ahead to a massive SEC showdown with Oklahoma at The Box.

Win or not… should LSU fans be concerned?
