Recapping LSU’s win over Arkansas in MCWS

June 14th

Game 4 – LSU 4, Arkansas 1
LSU got the better of SEC rival Arkansas on Saturday to advance to the winner’s bracket. LSU opened up a 3-0 lead in the second inning and hung on the rest of the way. It was a stifling effort from the LSU defense, which allowed only three hits all day as Kade Anderson picked up the win at pitcher. The Razorbacks now move on to face Murray State on Monday, where they’ll need to win to keep their season alive.

“Great win for our team. Outstanding performance against a great team in Arkansas,” said LSU’s Jay Johson. “Start with Kade — outstanding performance, what we’ve been accustomed to on the opening night of every weekend this year. I thought he got stronger as the game went along. He executed pitches at a really high level, which you have to do against that offense. I thought the bullpen was great. Chase came in with a man on base, executed, got two strikeouts right there, and then we got the line drive. Kasein showed great poise in the ninth, especially after giving up the single to Davalon.

“Offensively, we did just enough. Really good job by Luis drawing a walk, Derek falling down 0-2 and drawing a walk, then great bunt by Danny. Chris stayed within himself, not trying to do too much, moving the ball to the outfield. We got another free base with the hit-by-pitch, and then Josh again moved the ball against a tough left-hander to get three. Big hit by Derek there in the eighth inning,” Johnson said. “As usual, really good defense by our team tonight.”

“Good performance. Now we’ll get ready for Monday.”
