BATON ROUGE- The No. 9 ranked LSU Baseball team won their 4th straight game after beating South Alabama 2-0 Wednesday night at The Box. LSU improves to 21-9 this season.

Trent Vietmeier (2-0, 2.37 ERA) earned the win after throwing 2.0 scoreless innings. He only allowed 3-hits and had one strikeout.
This game was scoreless until the LSU scored in back-to-back innings in the 7th and 8th inning.

In the eighth inning, a wild pitch plated Chris Reid to give LSU a 2-0 lead that they would never relinquish.
Up next, LSU will host a 3-game series against Texas A&M at The Box this weekend.
