Game Overview
LSU baseball fell to No. 20 Florida in an 11‑1 loss that was called a run‑rule after the seventh inning, dropping the Tigers to 29‑26 overall and 9‑19 in the SEC.
Florida struck first, plating five runs in the opening two frames and never looked back. Pitcher Liam Peterson turned in a masterful outing, surrendering just three hits and a single run while keeping the Tigers' bats silent.
LSU starter Marcos Paz labored through 50 pitches before the game was halted, a stark contrast to Florida’s efficient attack.
The Tigers managed only one run, a solo homer by Steven Milam in the fourth inning, and could not recover from the early deficit.
The defeat marks the fifth SEC series loss for LSU in the past six weekends, underscoring a challenging stretch in conference play.
Prior to the game, LSU had been scoring at least six runs in six of their last seven contests, making the offensive shutdown all the more surprising.
Looking Ahead
With the season winding down, the Tigers will need to regroup and find ways to generate early momentum if they hope to turn the tide in upcoming matchups.
Coach Derek Curiel and the coaching staff are expected to adjust the lineup and pitching rotation as they aim to close the season on a positive note.
