Gorilla Ball Back at the Box
The LSU baseball team came out in full force last night stomping Tulane 13-2. The Tigers were lead by white hot Blake Dean and Ryan Schimpf’s two back to back home runs (that’s 4 home runs for the math whizzes) in the monstrous 10 run fifth inning that lead to the mercy rule stoppage in the 7th. It’s real good to see these guys swing the bats so well going in to the latter half of the season. Dean started off a little slow this season but no one in the country is hitting the ball as well as he is right now and that’s great news for the Tigers. The Tigers will bring this momentum with them this weekend to a big three game Western Division series at #12Arkansas. You can catch this weekend’s games on Cox or 98.1. gorilla ball stats after jump

LSU Baseball Back at #1
The Tigers are back on top of the college baseball world as voted by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. All 3 polls have LSU as the #1 team in the country after winning 2 of 3 at Alabama last weekend. The USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll has the Tigers at #3
LSU began the season at #1 in some polls, but lost the ranking on March 2nd. It feels good to be back at the top. However, LSU (26-9, 10-5) trails Arkansas by 1/2 game in the SEC West and Georgia (still USA Today/ ESPN’s #1) by a full game in the overall SEC standings. This weekend, LSU will play host to Tennessee and will try to gain some ground on UGA and Arkansas.
In other news, Blake Dean was honored with the SEC Player of the Week. Dean went 6 for 12 with one double, two homers, 10 RBI’s, and 2 runs scored in the weekend series with Bama. Over the week, he hit .412. Dean became the sixth LSU Tiger to earn either SEC Player or Pitcher of the week this season. Congratulations!!

Short post since its a holiday. Hope you guys are having a great Easter Sunday (and if you dont celebrate, then have a great regular Sunday). So LSU baseball got their dicks kicked in last night. The Tigers never got it going and ended up getting throttled 13-5. When you give up six walks and commit two errors, you get beat. Blake Dean did go 2-4 with a dong and had four R.B.I. in the game, so it wasnt 100% bad.
The scores from across the entire SEC are below:

LSU Baseball Ranked #1 in Collegiate Baseball Preseason Poll
The LSU Tiger Baseball Team is ranked number one in the preseason poll released on Monday by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. The complete poll can be seen here. LSU edged out North Carolina by one point to claim the top spot. Rice, Georgia, and Stanford round out the top five.
LSU is lead by several projected early round picks in the 2009 MLB draft such as OF Jared Mitchell, OF Blake Dean, and SS D.J. LaMahieu. Also returning are standouts Micah Gibbs, Ryan Schimpf, Leon Landry, and Shawn Ochinko. In all, the Tigers have eight starters returning from a team made it all the way to the College World Series in Omaha last year.
After struggling through a tough 7-5 football season this year, fans have something to look forward to in the new year. The basketball team is 9-1, we currently have the #1 recruiting class in the nation, Brad Pevito is leaving – ending the dreaded co-defensive coordinator shit, and the baseball team is projected to be good. Things are looking up. Like Stevie Wonder says….Go Tigers!
