NASHVILLE, Tenn. - After losing the series to Vanderbilt, LSU baseball was able to escape the Music City with a win after the bats came alive in game three. The Tigers beat the Commodores 16-9.

Jake Brown continued his efficient start to the season. The junior went 2-of-4 at the plate with 6 RBI. Brown hit a three-run homerun in the seventh inning to give LSU an 11-6 lead.

“Our guys take a lot of pride in this,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson, “ and they haven’t played as well as they want to, and there are some negative feelings that come along with those things," he added.

LSU improved to 14-7 overall, 1-2 in the SEC, while Vanderbilt dropped to 13-8 overall and 2-1 in conference play.

The Tigers are back at home to face Grambling on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
