FROM THE CLUBHOUSE

Paul Mainieri

"It's hard to put into words what we saw out there. We don't hit like that in batting practice. We didn't get any cheap hits. It didn't matter who went up there. The pitchers threw well and we played errorless defense."

Alex Bregman

"I have never been part of a game like that. The pitching staff was great and the offense was awesome as well. We just hit balls hard tonight. The team came out with a lot of energy. The hitters knew we had to come out hitting. Everybody built off Tyler Moore's home run in the first inning."

Tyler Moore

"We just wanted to show what we can do. You can't explain a game like this. A lot of guys went out there and flat-out hit. That was crazy. I was never a part of a team which scored 27 runs. That's special."

UP NEXT

LSU will play Auburn at Plainsman Park in the opener of their three-game Southeastern Conference series Thursday at 6 p.m. Auburn (28-25, 10-17) defeated UAB 6-5 on Tuesday night. Poche (7-3) will be the starting pitcher for LSU.
