The Southeastern Conference baseball schedule began and, all of a sudden, the LSU pitching staff put up championship-like numbers.

BATON ROUGE, La. – The No. 10 LSU baseball team defeated Kentucky, 7-2, to complete the series sweep on SEC Opening Weekend Sunday afternoon in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

Zach Watson led an 18-hit attack with a home run, a double and two singles as LSU defeated Texas Southern 16-5 in a non-conference game at The Box on Wednesday night.

It was written here before the start of the 2019 baseball season that having five key components returning did not automatically mean success.

Cade Beloso hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning to give LSU a 5-4 victory against California and a split of their doubleheader Saturday at The Box. The Bears defeated the Tigers 5-2 in the first game.

Antoine Duplantis, Daniel Cabrera and Brock Mathis each hit solo home runs as LSU defeated Holy Cross 9-2 in a non-conference game at The Box on Wednesday night.

The Tigers defense has not been stellar. Opposing baserunners are 22-of-23 on steals. A misplay on a potential game-ending double play cost LSU in the series finale at Texas. Foremost, Mainieri and assistant coach Alan Dunn must get the pitching staff straightened out.

Austin Todd’s single capped a three-run ninth inning rally which gave Texas a 7-6 victory against LSU on Sunday afternoon to complete a sweep of the non-conference series at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin.

The Tigers have opened the season with eight consecutive victories for the first time since 2011 when they began with an 11-0 record. Texas (7-3) has been good, but not great so far this year. But, without a doubt, the Longhorns will present LSU its first real challenge of the young season.

LSU has been very efficient with the game on the line in the late innings.
