LSU right-hander Christian Little recorded 3.2 innings of brilliant relief Saturday night, and the Tigers erased an early 3-0 deficit en route to a 6-4 win over top-ranked Texas A&M in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
LSU, which has won nine of its last 11 games, improved to 31-17 overall and 9-14 in the SEC, while Texas A&M dropped to 39-8 overall and 15-8 in conference play.
The Tigers have now won three straight SEC series and have captured six of their last eight conference games.
LSU and Texas A&M will play the series finale at 1 p.m. CT Sunday in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field, and the game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
Little (2-0) entered the game at the start of the sixth inning and limited Texas A&M to one run on two hits in 3.2 innings with one walk and six strikeouts.
“I’m really proud of our team,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “I think the story was our pitching; Christian Little threw 64 pitches and gave a completely dominant performance. I couldn’t be prouder of him.”
LSU starting pitcher Luke Holman allowed three runs in the top of the first inning, but then recorded four straight scoreless frames. Holman was charged with three runs on three hits in 5.0 innings with five walks and 10 strikeouts.
