BATON ROUGE, La. – No. 20/19 LSU recorded its second SEC sweep of the season after defeating Auburn in the doubleheader, 25-0 and 7-2, on Saturday at Tiger Park.
LSU’s (37-16, 13-11 SEC) 25 runs on 24 hits in game one mark program-best totals in both categories against an SEC opponent. It also marked the second-most hits and runs in a single game in program history (LSU had 30 runs on 27 hits at Louisiana Tech in 2016).
LSU last swept Auburn (25-27, 4-20 SEC) in 2018 in Tiger Park and earned its first series win since 2024. Overall on the day, LSU outscored Auburn 32-2 and had a .554 batting average on 36 hits with only three home runs.
“The offense was incredible,” said Head Coach Beth Torina. “There is always concern when you have a big game that you are going to take the foot off the gas in game two. We understood the importance of the game and did a great job of executing.”
Sierra Daniel (.857 avg.) and Jalia Lassiter (.667 avg.) led LSU with six hits and scored four runs each. Three of Lassiter’s hits were doubles, and she had three RBI. Maci Bergeron (.571 avg._ and Franklin (.500) had four hits on the day. Bergeron scored two runs and had four RBI, while Franklin scored four runs, had a team-high seven RBI, and hit two home runs, including her first career grand slam.
The LSU pitching staff had a solid showing as well, holding Auburn to a .182 batting average on the day and registering a 1.17 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 12.0 innings.
