Pat Moock doesn’t think anyone saw him Thursday when he bent down on the Alex Box pitcher’s mound and scooped up a handful of dirt and poured it into a baby-food jar. Alex Box Stadium is a thread that runs through generations of LSU players and none more than Moock and his family.
Early last season, his first as LSU baseball coach, Paul Mainieri looked around Alex Box Stadium during a game and scanned the grandstand and bleachers. “I turned to my assistant coach and I said, ‘Doesn’t every game here feel like the championship game of a regional tournament?’ That’s really kind of the feeling I get every day when I’m coaching at Alex Box Stadium — just the electricity and the crowd, the enthusiasm, the energy in the stadium,” Mainieri said. All-out effort is simply built into Shannon Stein’s DNA. With the opportunity to provide the difference in the first round of the Southeastern Conference tournament LSU’s senior second baseman relied on her hustle and instincts to give her team an early lift. Though it may have accounted for only one run, Stein’s inside-the-park homer went a long way in helping LSU to a 4-0 victory Thursday over Auburn before a season-high crowd of 1,224 at Tiger Park. AUSTIN, Texas — The 20th-ranked LSU Lady Tigers kept themselves in contention for a spot in the national championships Thursday with a first-round score of 12-over par 300 in the NCAA Central Regional golf tournament at the University of Texas Golf Course.
