CLEAN SWEEP IN HOUSTON | LSU baseball beats #15 Texas with elite starting pitching, timely offense

Locked On LSU - Daily Podcast On LSU Tigers Football & Basketball

LSU baseball went head to head with the #15 Texas Longhorns, ULL, and Texas State in the Astros College Classic this weekend at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. LSU won the tournament with three wins in three days beating their opponents by a total of 21-12 in those three games. One thing that stood out the most was the starting pitching shakeup moving Alabama Crimson Tide transfer Luke Holman to the Friday spot. Holman had a fantastic outing notching twelve strikeouts in just shy of six innings, giving up only three hits and zero runs on the night. Starting pitching all weekend was solid, with Thatcher Hurd moving to the Sunday slot and UCLA Bruins transfer Gage Jump getting the nod on Saturday against the Ragin' Cajuns. Plus, Hayden Travinski continues to be reliable and productive at the plate. The veteran went 5-for-10 on the weekend with a solo home run on Saturday and three doubles on the weekend.

In basketball news, men's head coach Matt McMahon announced that Jalen Cook has been suspended from the team for "failure to meet standards" that the head coach has set for the team. Cook has been out since February 13th with a hamstring injury and likely will not return for the season. What does that mean for the rest of the team as they head into SEC Tournament play next week?
