BATON ROUGE, La. — The Washington baseball team rallied in the late innings but couldn't overcome No. 8 Louisiana State in a 7-5 loss Sunday at Alex Box Stadium.
The Tigers swept the three-game series with the win.
Washington (4-11) took its first lead of the weekend with a two-run second inning, but two homers by LSU (14-1) in the bottom half of the inning put the Tigers ahead 3-2.
LSU built its lead to 7-2 before Washington got two runs back in the seventh as Jayce Ray hit an RBI triple before scoring on a wild pitch, making it 7-4.
The Huskies added one more in the eighth, but it wasn't enough.
Washington starter Tyler Davis (0-2) took the loss, allowing four runs on five hits in two innings.
