The Tigers extend their SEC winning streak to 5 games by beating LSU 3 to 1 in a great pitching duel. Casey McElroy hits a dramatic 2-run homer in the top of the ninth to provide the difference. Starter Corey Luckie pitches into the 7th inning. Ethan Wallen finishes the game. He is a bit erratic but doesn't yield a run. The Tigers will go for the sweep tomorrow. This team, given up for dead after getting swept two straight weekends, is now on a roll. The strong pitching tonight on the road in the toughest play to work in the SEC is encouraging.
