LSU HITTING STAR
Ibarra collected two singles and a double with all three hits coming in the innings in which LSU scored a run. Ibarra led off the fifth with a single and scored on Ross' two-out single. He had a bunt single when the Tigers tied the score at 2-2 in the seventh. Ibarra had a double when LSU evened the score at 3-3 in the ninth. Ibarra picked up three hits for the second consecutive game. He extended his hitting streak to five games. Ibarra is batting .450 (9-for-20) during the hitting streak.
LSU STARTING PITCHER
Cody Glenn, who had not gotten out of the fourth inning in his three previous road Southeastern Conference starts, was quite effective against Alabama. Glenn allowed three runs and four hits in eight innings. Two of the three runs were unearned due to errors by Jones in the fourth and Ibarra in the seventh. Glenn didn't walk a batter and struck out four in the longest outing of his career. Glenn retired the first ten batters he faced before Salem's fourth-inning double. He retired Alabama in order in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings. There was doubt as to whether Glenn would be able to pitch after getting hit by a line drive above his knee last Sunday at Arkansas.
LSU BULLPEN
Glenn helped out a LSU bullpen which was short of arms following Saturday's 16-inning game. Nick Rumblelow, Chris Cotton, Nare Fury and Kurt McCune all worked more than one inning Saturday. Joey Bourgeois, who threw just one inning in relief Saturday, allowed the winning run on a two-out single by Overstreet. Like Glenn, Bourgeois was not helped by his defense. An error by Ibarra led to the winning run in the tenth inning. Bourgeois got himself in trouble in the tenth by hitting the leadoff batter.

FROM THE LOCKER ROOM
Coach Paul Mainieri:
"It was very uncharacteristic of us today because our defense really let us down. We basically gave them all of the runs they got. It was really a shame because Cody Glenn pitched a tremendous game. He pitched his heart out and deserved a better fate than that. We didn't do the things that we have been doing all year from a fundamentals standpoint. We are going to take a day off tomorrow and get back to things Tuesday. We are going to tighten things up a bit and get more focused."
NEXT UP
LSU will play Tulane at The Box on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. The Green Wave (20-20) did not play this past weekend. Mainieri is undecided about the Tigers' starting pitcher.
