Dominant might be the best way to describe the No. 16 LSU softball team’s 11-0 victory against Southeastern Louisiana in five innings last night.Because of the eight-run rule, the game ended after the fifth inning when the Tigers were leading 11-0.Sophomore first baseman Anissa Young had arguably her best game at the plate as a Tiger. She went 3-for-3 with five RBIs and two home runs. Her RBIs and home runs were both single-game career highs.”I’ve been working really hard trying to see better pitches, and that’s what I did,” Young said. “I just found my barrel today.”Southeastern Louisiana (3-6) batted first but never managed to get much going offensively and ended the game with three hits. The Lions threatened in the top of the third but left runners stranded on second and third.The Tigers (8-4) jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning and never looked back.After leadoff walks by senior center fielder Kirsten Shortridge and junior designated player Ashley Applegate, senior right fielder Rachel Mitchell hit a blooper over the shortstop’s head to score Shortridge.Young stood in next and smashed an RBI double down the left-field line to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.That was the end of the game for Southeastern Louisiana sophomore pitcher Vicki Honeycutt, who earned the loss after facing four batters. Honeycutt pitched less than an inning, allowing two hits and four runs.  An RBI walk from freshman catcher Lauren Houston and singles from Shortridge and junior third baseman Jessica Mouse added the other four runs for LSU in the inning.But the Tigers didn’t stop there.LSU tacked on three runs in the second inning.After a leadoff single by Mitchell, Young smashed a home run over the center-field wall to extend the lead to eight.Two batters later, sophomore second baseman Courtney Hollier hit a solo home run — her first home run of her career.LSU coach Yvette Girouard made some defensive changes for the Tigers in the top of the third inning and took out starting pitcher senior Cody Trahan and replaced her with sophomore pitcher Brittany Mack.Trahan pitched two scoreless innings, gave up one hit and had three strikeouts.Following an Applegate walk in the bottom of the third inning, Young hit her second home run of the game. It was a towering shot over the left field wall, giving the Tigers the 11-0 lead.Mack (2-2) got the win from the circle. The Texas native pitched two innings, fanned two batters and allowed two hits and no runs.”We thought this should be a confident game and no one should be scoring on us,” Mack said.LSU finished with 10 total hits, 11 RBIs and only two strikeouts.”We were far more aggressive and composed at the plate, but we’re not seeing the same quality pitching we’ve been seeing,” Girouard said.—-Contact Jarred LeBlanc at [email protected]
