LSU WASTED SCORING OPPORTUNITIES

Seventh inning - Ibarra walked and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Fraley. After Robertson walked, Laird hit into a 4-6-3 double play.
TOP OFFENSIVE PLAYER
Scivicque had two of LSU's five hits in four at-bats. Unfortunately, Scivicque came to the plate with no one on base all night. He hit a two-out double in the fourth, but was stranded when Stevenson grounded out. In the eighth, Scivicque singled after Sean McMullen hit into a double play. Scivicque was replaced for a pinch-runner after that hit.
STARTING PITCHER
It was another rocky outing for Cody Glenn, who allowed two runs and five hits in four innings. Glenn walked two - both in the fourth inning when Tulane scored two runs. He struck out four. Glenn had problems closing out innings. After striking out two hitters in the third, Glenn permitted the Green Wave to fill the bases on two singles sandwiched around a hit batter. Glenn got Andrew Garner to ground out to shortstop Alex Bregman to end the threat. In the fourth, Tulane had a runner on first with two out. But, Glenn gave up a single to Willsey and walked Carthon to fill the bases. Alemais then delivered his two-run single.
BULLPEN
The LSU bullpen, which didn't allow a run in 11.1 innings Sunday against Georgia, turned in another spectacular job against Tulane. Two Tigers relievers - Brady Domangue and Kurt McCune - combined for six hitless and scoreless innings. Domangue, who threw two innings, got into trouble in the sixth when he issued two walks. An error by Stevenson in centerfield prior to the bases on balls allowed Tulane to load the bases. Domangue retired Alemais on a fly ball to Laird in rightfield to end the inning. McCune, who threw 1.2 innings as Sunday's starter, permitted two base-runners - both on walks. Neither runner got past first base against McCune, who struck out four. Nate Fury wasn't as successful as Domangue and McCune. After getting two outs on ground balls in the 11th, Fury gave up a double by Willsey and the game-winning single by Carthon.
NOTES
Bregman once again batted second with McMullen as the three-hole hitter and Laird as the leadoff batter. Laird went 0-for-4 and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

FROM THE LOCKERROOM
Coach Paul Mainieri
"It was a tough night for our hitters. We just couldn't get anything going. When we had an opportunity for a big inning, we crushed the ball but right at their first baseman for a double play. Kurt McCune was tremendous in his outing and that was certainly a bright spot for us. We're disappointed right now, but we have to move forward and re-focus on getting back into conference play this weekend."
