Overall, the Tigers batted .347 on the weekend behind 34 hits, including six home runs, all from catcher Maci Bergeron and utility player Tori Edwards. In the circle, LSU recorded a 1.08 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 26.0 innings. Pitcher Jayden Heavener shutout the Ragin’ Cajuns, and Sydney Berzon earned all three wins against the Wildcats.
LSU prepares for its first SEC road series in Athens, Ga., on March 21-23, for a three-game series versus No. 13/15 Georgia.
