The Notes: LSU Baseball Shines During Opening Weekend

• Junior second baseman Daniel Dickinson led LSU to a season-opening sweep of Purdue Fort Wayne last weekend, batting .556 (5-for-9) with one double, one homer, seven RBI and five runs scored … Dickinson also walked once, was hit by a pitch twice and recorded a stolen base, as he posted a .667 on-base percentage … he paced the Tigers’ 14-hit attack on Friday by going 3-for-4 at the plate with one double and five RBI, and his two-run single in the first inning was the highlight of LSU’s five-run outburst … Dickinson launched LSU’s first home run on the season on Saturday, a two-run shot that gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the first inning.

• Freshman leftfielder Derek Curiel batted .364 (4-for-11) in last weekend’s sweep over Purdue Fort Wayne with one homer, three RBI, two runs scored, two walks, one steal and a .462 on-base percentage … he launched a two-out, two-run homer – the first dinger of his collegiate career – in the fifth inning on Saturday to expand LSU’s lead from 2-1 to 5-1 … he added an RBI single in Sunday’s win to punctuate a five-run LSU fourth inning.

• Redshirt sophomore right-hander Chase Shores defeated Purdue Fort Wayne on Sunday in his first appearances on the mound in nearly two years … Shores, who suffered a season-ending elbow injury in March 2023 and redshirted last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, threw 67 pitches in 5.0 innings on Sunday, limiting the Mastodons to one run on three hits with no walks and seven strikeouts.

• The LSU pitching staff posted a 0.67 ERA in last weekend’s series versus Purdue Fort Wayne, allowing just two runs on 14 hits in 27.0 innings with two walks and 45 strikeouts … the Tigers limited the Mastodons to a .156 cumulative batting average and gave up just one extra-base hit, a double.
