Matt Clark led off the bottom of the seventh with a double. D.J. LeMahieu's single put Clark at third, and LeMahieu advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Clark, who does not have good speed, held his ground.
He stayed at third on Leon Landry's fly ball to center field, but he after a Ryan Schimpf walk, he scored. Michael Hollander drove in Clark with a ground ball to first base for the second out.
That made LSU's lead 11-2 and led to another pitching change. Baton Rouge's Forrest Moore is the new relief pitcher.
Pinch hitter Nicholas Pontiff (batting for Jared Mitchell) hit a ground ball up the middle and reached on an error at first base. Two runs scored, making it 13-2.
Blake Dean walked to put runners on first and second with two outs. Johnny Dishon pinch hit for Derek Helenihi and struck out.
