LSU softball is heading home from the NCAA Tournament, getting bounced out of the Baton Rouge Regional as a host site without reaching Sunday’s regional championship.
The Tigers entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 10 seed in the country after a dynamic and impressive season. However, Southeastern Louisiana stunned LSU in their first meeting of the regional on Friday, sending the Tigers to the elimination bracket.
LSU’s first game in the elimination bracket went swimmingly with a 3-0 win over UConn. SE Louisiana would eventually set up the rematch after losing in blowout fashion to Nebraska.
When the elimination game got rolling, it was SE Louisiana staking itself to the early lead with a 4-run frame in the bottom of the 1st inning. Three walks and an error by LSU allowed the Lions to get all 4 runs on the board without a hit.
LSU would eventually push 3 runs across to tie things up in the 4th inning. After that, it was a back-and-forth affair from the 5th inning onward that consisted of SE Louisiana getting a lead and then the Tigers answering right back.
LSU eventually tied things up at 7-all in the top of the 7th inning but could not muster anything else. That was bad news with the Lions immediately putting pressure on in the bottom half, needing just 1 run to end the game.
A single, a throwing error and a walk loaded the bases without an out, and all it took was a simple fielder’s choice to end the game. While LSU would challenge the game-ending play to try and extend the game, the final outcome was confirmed, sending the Tigers packing.
