Mikie Mahtook and Trey Watkins homered to help the Tigers take a 5-1 triumph today at Alex Box Stadium.
Every once in a while, no matter how talented you might be, it doesn’t hurt to be challenged. If you would have asked LSU football coach Les Miles earlier this week if his offense or defense were ahead at the halfway point of spring practice, he would have given the nod to the offense. DURHAM, N.C. — With seven minutes, 27 seconds to play in Saturday’s NCAA tournament opener, Hartford women’s basketball coach Jennifer Rizzotti walked off the court with her left thumb extended. Kirsten Shortridge and Ashley Applegate turned in a combined a 9-for-14 effort with three runs scored and three RBIs as the No. 14 LSU softball team picked up 7-0 and 4-3 victories Saturday over Auburn to open Alumnae Weekend on Saturday at Tiger Park in front of a season-best 1,442 fans. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The LSU women’s swimming and diving team closed out the 2010 NCAA Championships Saturday, taking 30th in the team standings at Purdue’s Boilermaker Aquatics Center. Metairie Park Country Day’s Matt Derenbecker and Kentwood High’s Ronneka Robertson lead the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Class 1A all-state basketball teams. There will still be a few days of breath-holding, but for the first time in a while there’s reason for some optimism with LSU pitcher Anthony Ranaudo and his right elbow. When K.C. Ross-Miller decided to become the second point guard in LSU’s 2010 basketball recruiting class Thursday, his father said two things stood out as factors. A 22-0 run first-half run boosted No. 4 Kentucky to an easy 81-55 victory at LSU today.
