Game 2 – LSU 3Β vs. SLU 4

It was a stunner at Tiger Park on Friday night as the unranked Southeastern Louisiana Lions upset the No. 10 overall seed LSU Tigers.

LSU jumped out to a 3-0 lead but Southeastern tied things up in the fourth, using their speed on the base paths to wreak havoc on the Tiger defense.

Cydnee Schneider drove in the game-winning run in the top of the seventh. She finished the night 1-for-3.

Lainee Bailey was brilliant in the circle, pitching 4.2 innings of nearly perfect relief. She walked three and struck out one without allowing a single hit.

Saturday

The Nebraska Cornhuskers handed the Southeastern Louisiana Lions their first run-rule loss of the season and they did it without having to pitch Jordy Bahl for an entire game.

Bahl homered in her only official at-bat of the game and walked three times, scoring twice. In the circle, she allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out three.

Hannah Camenzind hit a three-run home run in the first inning and Ava Kuszak hit a grand slam in the third.

Game 4 – UCONN 0, LSU 3

The LSU Tigers scored all three runs in the first two innings and Sydney Berzon held the UConn Huskies to five hits in seven innings.

Danieca Coffey set the table at the top of the lineup for LSU, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Tori Edwards had two RBIs and Maci Begeron had one.

UConn's Lexi Hastings had two hits.

Game 5 – LSU 7, Southeastern Louisiana 8

All eyes were on Baton Rouge and the Southeastern Louisiana Lions pulled off another upset, eliminating the LSU Tigers on their home field.

Shelby Morris walked the Lions off after LSU intentionally walked Shenita Tucker to load the bases with nobody out. Morris hit a ground ball to second base and Colleen Kulivan slid safely across home, beating the throw from Sierra Daniel.

LSU All-American Sydney Berzon was handed the loss. She gave up two runs on three hits and one walk.

Sunday

Game 6 – Nebraska 8, Southeastern Louisiana 0

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are heading to Knoxville for a Super Regional series with the Tennessee Volunteers after run-ruling the Southeastern Louisiana Lions.
