BATON ROUGE, La. -- The LSU baseball team hopes for a hot start this weekend as it welcomes Appalachian State to Alex Box Stadium.
The No. 14 Tigers (4-0) have been white hot through their first four games, outscoring the opposition by a total of 44-6. That’s somewhat to be expected at this point of the season, however. LSU has won at least its first nine games in each of the past three seasons.
Last year’s squad started 11-0 and outscored opponents 114-36 before dropping a decision to Princeton.
