LSU Shuts Out Arkansas-Little Rock 7-0 at Baton Rouge Regional

LSU opened the Baton Rouge Regional of the NCAA Tournament with a commanding 7-0 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock, powered by pitcher Anthony Eyanson's 7 2/3 scoreless innings and Daniel Dickinson's two home runs. Eyanson, LSU's ace, scattered five hits, struck out seven, and induced 11 groundouts, maintaining control despite a lengthy weather delay that postponed the game's start by over five hours. LSU's offense steadily built their lead, scoring in multiple innings with key RBIs from Derek Curiel, Jared Jones, and Michael Braswell III alongside Dickinson's homers. The Tigers, seeded No. 6 nationally, will next face the winner between Rhode Island and Dallas Baptist, while Little Rock moves to an elimination game. LSU coach Jay Johnson's decision to start Eyanson paid off as the pitcher demonstrated elite command and composure, helping LSU extend its NCAA Tournament streak to 13 consecutive appearances. Despite the weather challenges, LSU's combination of strong pitching and timely hitting set a commanding tone for their postseason run.
