LSU Gets Back On Track With Win Over McNeese Share this story LSU Athletics A day after news broke that LSU starting rotation pitcher Jaden Hill would be out for the rest of the season with a ulnar collateral ligament tear, which itself followed a three-game sweep at home to Vanderbilt to cement LSU’s worst start to conference play since 1969, LSU got what they needed the most: a win. The Tigers posted a pretty standard, by-the-numbers, uneventful 14-1 blowout win over the Cowboys Tuesday night, which is a welcome site for the Tigers. “I thought we played a really good game, we got off to a good start early,” LSU head coach Paul Mainieri said. “We got to have a little fun playing the game again. So, it was a nice lift for the team, they deserved it. I was happy that they got to win a ball game and enjoyed playing baseball.”
