LSU DAILY NEWS

I stated after the South Carolina series I felt the series win was more than just a win but more of this team showed us who they could be. This weekend at home against the Sooners the Lady Tigers built on that by ending Oklahoma’s 22 game winning streak and nearly taking the series against the No. 3 ranked Sooners.

There are weekends in SEC play that test where you are, and then there are weekends that start to show where you might be going. LSU’s trip to South Carolina felt like the latter. It was not clean, it was not easy, but it was revealing in all the ways that matter this time of year.

And when this offense presses, you can see it — getting behind in counts, chasing, and letting pitchers dictate at-bats instead of the other way around. But tonight felt different. On a cold, windy night staring 0-6 in SEC play in the face, LSU responded. They didn’t suddenly become overly aggressive — they became intentional.

The Tigers have been dominant at Tiger Park, posting a perfect 15–0 record in Baton Rouge so far this season. LSU’s success at home has been a major factor in its early-season results, especially compared to its performances away from Baton Rouge.
