Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers dropped a Southeastern Conference series to the Texas A&M Aggies this past weekend in College Station after an emotional loss on Sunday.

After splitting a doubleheader on Saturday, all focus turned towards Game 3 where the Aggies blasted a go-ahead three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to seal the deal.

LSU entered the weekend series as the No. 2 program in America following an SEC series victory over the Tennessee Volunteeers.

“I’m really proud of the effort put forward by our players in this game [on Sunday],” 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.”

Now, LSU has dropped just one spot in the D1Baseball Top-25 Rankings after a Southeastern Conference series loss to the Aggies this past weeekend.

LSU now sits at No. 3 in America heading into a pivotal weekend in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
