LSU RHP Kevn Gausman and Mississippi State RHP Chris Stratton both pitched an incredible game on Friday night.  Both worked 8.2 innings with each giving up 4 hits and 1 ER.  Gausman struck out 11 and walked 4, while Stratton fanned 17 with 2 walks.

Gausman's stuff was particularly impressive, as he threw his fastball in the 95-97 range in the early innings and was still throwing 94-95 in the 9th.

The game ended in dramatic fashion, going into extra innings tied at 1.  The Bulldogs took the lead in the top of the 10th thanks to a Mitch Slauter home run.  The Tigers rallied for a pair of runs in the bottom of the 10th.  2B JaCoby Jones delivered the winning hit.
