BILOXI, Miss. - After Saturday's offensive explosion, LSU baseball's bats were held in check in Sunday's Fall ball scrimmages against Samford. In the first 6.5 inning game of the day, LSU won 4-1. In the second 6.5 inning game, it was Samford winning 4-1.
The LSU freshmen continued to flash in Sunday's games. Third baseman Malachi Washington and Lucas Nawrocki both hit home runs. Nawrocki's was his second of the weekend.
On the mound, the Tigers sent a familiar face to start the first game of the day. Casan Evans, who was last season's Friday night starter, was basically untouchable through his two innings of work. Evans struck out five and did not allow a hit.
Throughout the four games against Samford, LSU utilized pieces from up and down its roster. Returning players, the transfer portal adds, and the freshmen all got looks on the field. Head coach Jay Johnson is going to have a surplus of options for his lineup come springtime.
"We don't have a lineup yet," said Johnson. "I think a lot of guys are capable of making a positive contribution, and we're finding out how some of those pieces fit and how some of those pieces can improve to fit."
LSU's next exhibition matchup is back at home at Alex Box Stadium against Troy on Sunday, Nov. 8.
