LSU improves to 7-1 on the year as Devin Fontenot earned the win.
The Tiger bats helped fight back from an early 2-0 deficit in the 4th inning as the Tigers tied things up at 2 thanks to a home run from Brody Drost and a RBI double from Gavin Dugas.
Dylan Crews added another run with a home run to center field to make it 3-2 in the 5th.
Nicholls and LSU would trade runs in the 8th and 9th inning, but in a 4-4 game in the bottom of the ninth, Morgan's RBI sac fly in the 9th inning would be the difference.
LSU will play game two of their doubleheader against Southern at 6:30 PM.
