Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will return to Alex Box Stadium on Tuesday night for a clash against the North Dakota State Bison with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m. CT. Johnson and Co. are coming off of a four-game stretch in the Lone Star State with victories over Dallas Baptist,

A hit by pitch, a sacrifice fly out and four singles later, LSU had put up seven runs in the first inning on Wednesday against North Dakota State at Alex Box Stadium. Freshman right-handed starter Garrett Shupe, in his collegiate debut, couldn't escape the first. He exited after the fifth run came across with two outs.

In possibly the most unsurprising turn of events, LSU had an answer for the Bison in the bottom of the frame. With the top of the order due up, Derek Curiel drew a walk, and a couple batters later, Daniel Dickinson laced his fourth home run of the season over the left field wall to draw back within two runs of the Bison.
