This is Southern’s first win against LSU since 2019. It is also SU’s first win at Alex Box since 2005.

LSU has now lost six of their last seven games.

“Congratulations to (Southern coach) Chris (Crenshaw) and their program,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’ve rattled off several wins in row, and they’re playing good baseball.

“We’ve got to change the way we prepare, clearly. There are a lot of things that will fall directly on me as the head coach, and I’m OK with that. I believe in how we do and what we do, and we’re going to make some adjustments to those things. Not just from a baseball standpoint, but from an approach standpoint to winning. We’re going to change some rules up, and go from there,” Johnson finished.
