Sacramento State Stuns No. 2 LSU, Takes Series With 6-1 Finale in Baton Rouge

Hornets pitching silenced LSU’s lineup across the weekend, underscoring the Tigers’ early-season slump.

Overview

  • Carson Timothy limited LSU to one unearned run over 6.2 innings on Sunday, and Trevor Wilson closed out 2.1 scoreless for his third save in a 6-1 win.
  • The result gave Sacramento State the series and moved the Hornets to 5-10, dropping LSU to 12-5 after four losses in the past week.
  • A day earlier, Cameron Sewell’s eighth-inning grand slam and five RBIs powered a 5-4 Hornets victory as LSU’s late rally fell short.
  • On Saturday, Sean Carey earned the win in relief, Cooper Moore took the loss, and Wilson recorded the save after Daniel Harden’s ninth-inning leadoff homer tightened the margin.
  • Coach Jay Johnson credited Sacramento State’s execution and said LSU must play better, with the Tigers set to host Creighton on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. CT.
