LSU baseball faced Wofford in a close game where Wofford initially led 2-0 but LSU fought back with home runs. Steven Milam hit a walk-off solo homer, securing LSU's 4-3 win. LSU celebrated, leading to a warning. The game tied, and LSU eventually won 4-3 on another walk-off solo homer. LSU's victory was celebrated widely.
Josh Pearson delivers, two out homer to right, a shot. Jared Jones with a solid AB right before, not everything has to be over the fence. I wish some veteran LSU hitters would realize that.
Wofford gets a runner on first, tries to bunt him over twice, fails. Then swings away and gets a slow liner through 2nd/1st to put runners at the corners. SAC Fly brings home another run next batter. 6-3 Wofford in the 4th - 2 Outs
M2: Brown gets picked off first base to end the inning. #LSU 5-2 Wofford
T9: Holy cow. Peyton Holt just hit a two-run homer into the LF bullpen and Kansas State's lead is 7-6 with one out in the 9th.
B8: Nick English restores the three-run lead for Kansas State with a solo HR to left. 7-4 Wildcats with two outs in the inning.
T8: Jack Wagner double, Ty Wilmsmeyer single, and the Hogs have runners at the corners with no outs and the top of the order coming up. https://t.co/lEcjfU4tvz
M7: Arkansas can't take advantage of a Kansas State error as Peyton Holt strikes out with runners on 2nd and 3rd to end the inning. The Hogs have now stranded multiple runners on base in 4 straight innings. Wildcats lead 6-3 at the stretch.
T7: Jared Sprague-Lott gives Arkansas some life with a solo homer to RF. Hogs trim the deficit to 6-3 with one out in the inning.
B5: Kaelen Culpepper goes oppo taco off Hagen Smith, and Kansas State leads 6-2. The wheels have fallen off this inning for the lefty after the two leadoff walks.
T5: Arkansas leads 1-0. A wild pitch allows Ty Wilmsmeyer to take third, and an errant throw from the catcher prompts Wilmsmeyer to run for home and give the Hogs the lead. Now, there's a runner on third with one out.
E4: KSU gets its first hit off Hagen Smith, but the lefty struck out the side. Arkansas 0, Kansas State 0. Which pitcher blinks first?
E2: Hudson White is up to the challenge on Kansas State's first stole base attempt, throwing Danniel Rivera out at second to end the inning. 0-0 as we head to the 3rd.
E1: Hagen Smith sets KSU down 1-2-3 on just 10 pitches. Efficient stuff with a strikeout mixed in. Still scoreless.
M1: Ben McLaughlin sends one to the warning track in dead center to end the inning. Hagen Smith is coming to the bump, and yes, Arkansas is the road team tonight. https://t.co/aTpsk5RrMD
Another chance slips away. LSU's running out of opportunities. 3-2 to the bottom of the 7th. #LSUvsUNC
Smart at-bat Jones. LSU is FINALLY on the board. 3-1 UNC in the top of the seventh and a pitching change with bases loaded, and one out. #LSUvsUNC
Longgggggggg fly ball out. #LSUvsUNC https://t.co/IoR3IxgB4w
B8: That should do it. Hudson White hits a three-run homer to LF and Arkansas leads 17-9. White and McLaughlin both have two HR, and the Hogs have set a new season-high with six.
B7: Ben McLaughlin just destroyed a three-run homer to RF to give Arkansas a 14-9 lead. That's his second three-run shot of the afternoon, and the Hogs have some breathing room.
M7: SEMO scores a run, but strands runners at 1st and 2nd. It's 10-9 Arkansas at the stretch. Gabe Gaeckle hasn't been sharp but he's done just enough to keep the Hogs in front.
E6: Arkansas strands the bases loaded for a second straight inning. Peyton Holt struck out and limped back to the dugout. Looks like Will Edmunson replacing Holt in LF. Arkansas leads SEMO 10-8 heading to the 7th.
M6: Gabe Gaeckle strands runners at 2nd and 3rd. Hard line out to Kendall Diggs in RF ends the inning. 10-8 Arkansas.
E5: Hudson White strikes out with the bases loaded, but Arkansas retakes the lead. Here comes Gabe Gaeckle out of the bullpen, trying to preserve a 10-8 advantage.
B5: Kendall Diggs goes oppo taco and lets out a big smile as he crosses home. That had to feel good. It's his first homer since March 28. Arkansas leads 10-8.
M5: Foutch walked two batters, but he strands runners on the corners thanks to a nifty play at 2nd by Peyton Stovall. It's 8-8 heading to the bottom half.
T5: Bases loaded and no outs for SEMO. Walk, single, infield single. Big spot here for the Hogs, who lead 8-4.
M4: A VERY nice inning for Will McEntire, setting the Redhawks down 1-2-3. Arkansas just set a single-season program record with 675 strikeouts as a team. Hogs lead SEMO 8-4.
B2: Ben McLaughlin tattoos a three-run homer to right and it's 8-0 Arkansas. The bats! https://t.co/0u4Cvr6ObB
B2: It's already 3-0 Arkansas and SEMO is going to the bullpen. Short outing for Haden Dow. Collin Wilma is coming out of the bullpen to face JSL with the bases loaded and two outs.
B2: It's 2-0 Arkansas after an RBI single to right by Peyton Holt. Hogs have runners on the corners with one out and an opportunity to break this one open.
B1: Hudson White goes oppo taco and Arkansas leads 1-0. Nice, early run support for Molina.
M1: Mason Molina started the game with a 4-pitch walk, but he bounced back to retire the next three hitters with a pair of strikeouts. Hogs coming to bat.

OH MY GOSH @LSUbaseball
And @LSUbaseball does it again with the long ball.
For the second time in three games, Steven Milam calls game. #LSU wins 4-3 on a walk-off solo homer.
Herring comes in to pitch the ninth as LSU ties it up.
A GAME-TYING HOMER IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 8TH DON'T MIND IF WE DO @bearjones_3 👀 (🎥 @LSUbaseball) https://t.co/XXvJlNAPW0
Looks like a warning for LSU for celebrating. What an ump show we've got here.
B8: Jared Jones has tied the game. #LSU blasts another solo homer to tie the score at 3.
And here comes the late inning LSU Tiger magic again…. #NCAATourney
It's getting late early for @LSUbaseball, but Monster Milam does his thing. Home run. 2-1 Wofford, bottom 7.
Jump strikes out the side. Really settled in there, mixing pitches and location. Let's see if the LSU bats can have a "mature approach" here this half inning. Still 2-0 Wofford in B5
