| Good morning, everyone. Starting today's newsletter with a bit of full disclosure: I sat down to write this after midnight after driving back most of the day and night Friday from Fort Worth and the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. So, we're going to keep this short and sweet, but promise you more prosaic word salad next week (whether you like it or not): So, Aleah Finnegan, let's begin again: - The LSU baseball Tigers clinched their series with Alabama on Friday night 4-3, thanks in large part to a gem by starting pitcher Anthony Eyanson.
- Our Koki Riley has the game time and other pertinent details on Saturday's series finale.
- Koki also brings us this feature, talking about how the top of the Tigers' iineup is evolving and in flux.
- Kyren Lacy's former LSU teammates open up with our Wilson Alexander in this story of how the late Tiger receiver touched them.
- Lacy's agent has had sharp words for the NFL.
- In my gymnastics column, I stress that LSU's off performance at a bad time in Thursday's NCAA semis shouldn't erase the great season the Tigers had.
- Fifth-year seniors Olivia Dunne and Haleigh Bryant bid their goodbyes on social media.
- The LSU softball team broke a long SEC losing streak Friday night with a win at No. 3 Texas.
- Our TJ Brown asks whether men's basketball transfer Max Mackinnon is a steal in this year's portal?
That's all for today, folks. Thanks as ever for reading and subscribing, and have a great sports weekend. Scott Rabalais |
