LSU reliever Zac Cowan (2-2) suffered the loss, as he was charged with two runs on two hits in 0.1 inning.

“I’m really proud of the effort put forward by our players in this game today,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “Obviously, we want to execute a little better, play a little better and continue with our competitive mindset.

"This is a team that’s capable of accomplishing a lot this season, and we have a lot ahead of us.”

LSU plated two runs in the top of the fourth inning when catcher Luis Hernandez smashed an RBI double, and he scored when shortstop Steven Milam followed with a single.

The Aggies narrowed the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth when leftfielder Terrence Kiel II lined an RBI single.
