LSU pitcher Chad Jones and teammate Buzzy Haydel, right, celebrate after Jones struck out Texas' Russell Moldenhauer in the sixth inning. Jones also worked a scoreless inning in the seventh for the Tigers.

LSU went quickly and quietly in order in the top of the inning, but Chad Jones also kept Texas off the board as the Tigers still lead, 9-4.

Jones hit Kevin Keyes in the front foot with a breaking ball with one out.

But Jones got Connor Rowe to pop to first and retired Preston Clark on a fly out to left.
