It's a high-noon start on the Saturday at Swayze Field

So far this weekend, it has been all LSU,
as the Tigers got Game One on Thursday night five-to-four
and won Game Two last night.

Louisiana, making his sixth start of the season.
He's four-and-oh this year with a 2.97 ERA.

An inning in the books. It's LSU one, Ole Miss nothing.

Hayden Leatherwood on the run.
That ball is going to carry, and it is gone, hit it well,

Throw comes to second,
and LSU takes a three-to-nothing lead on the RBI single.
Two-two. Fly ball to center.
McCants, going back, gets to the warning track,
and that ball is gone, straight away center field,

and his SEC numbers continue to amaze,
ninth SEC home run this year for Dugas,
and lead off solo shot,
and LSU leads it four-to-nothing.
Couple of runners on, pop to shallow center field.
It falls in for a base hit.
Digiacomo comes home to score.

He'll come around to score.
A little this week.
This ball lifted left.
Kevin Graham moving to his right.
There's the catch for the second out of the inning,
but that will work as a sacrifice fly for Cade Doughty.
Jack Dougherty making his third appearance of the year,
first in an SEC game.
He pitched a couple of weeks ago in the midweek.
And Beloso pops it up to center field.
TJ McCants makes the catch, and LSU strands a couple.
Blake Money now into the game for LSU,
right-hander making his 12th appearance of the season.

three inning for Jack Dougherty and Ole Miss.
See Ole Miss going to Tyler Myers here,
trying to keep it to an eight-run ball game here
and as we move to the later stage of this game.
Out into left field, Kevin Graham,
kind of a halfway dive there, able to make the catch,
and LSU once again goes one,
two, three, second inning in a row.
It's nine-to-one as we go to the bottom of the eighth.
He lifts it to left field.
This was pretty well hit.
Dugas to the track,
watches it hit the back wall of the bullpen,

tries to get Chatagnier out,
goes back with it on a three-two.
Chatagnier says, "Not so fast, my friend," and...

He followed Landon Marceaux on Thursday night.
And he hits a fly ball to center field.

A grand salami, and we are tied.
Are you kidding me?

making his 16th appearance of the year,
three-and-one, 3.16 ERA, 34 strikeouts and five walks.
...last at bat.
Swing and a miss, got him on the slider down and away,
and Ole Miss will have a chance.
Leads off in the bottom of the ninth inning against Ty Floyd.
And he hits a high fly ball to right field.
Forget about it!
Walk them off, freshmen!
Ole Miss comes from eight-down, one swing,
an opposite field solo shot to beat LSU ten to nine.
In unbelievable fashion,
the freshman McCants ties it with a grand slam.
The freshman Alderman wins it.
Are you kidding me?
A wildly improbable "come from behind" victory for Ole Miss.
