LSU baseball takes game one against Missouri as SEC slate begins

LSU baseball began its SEC schedule at Alex Box Stadium on Friday as the Tigers welcomed Missouri. Ace Kade Anderson got the start on the mound in game one, looking to get off to a fast start in conference play. LSU did just that with a 12-5 victory in game one.

Missouri took the lead early with a two-run shot in the top of the second inning to draw first blood. In the bottom of the second, LSU tied it up as Luis Hernandez hit a two-run shot of his own to tie the game 2-2.
