Despite a number of devastating tornadoes in Alabama last week, the series between the LSU baseball team and Alabama will still take place in Tuscaloosa.
The series begins Friday night at 6:30, though as of Tuesday, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox imposed a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The only change in time for the series is Saturday’s game, which will now begin at 3 p.m. The series finale is set for 1 p.m.
 
MVUMVURE, STOWERS TAKE HOME SEC HONORS
Senior sprinter Gabriel Mvumvure and freshman Jasmin Stowers were rewarded with more than a medal for their efforts at the Penn Relays.
Mvumvure nabbed Southeastern Conference Male Runner of the Week, while Stowers notched SEC Freshman of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
Mvumvure won three event titles at the Relays, notably anchoring both the 4×100 and 4×200-meter relay teams. Both relay teams won their respective events.
The 4×100 relay might have been the Tigers’ best outing. In a field littered with six top-10 teams, LSU posted a blazing 38.77 second-time, more than one second better than its competition.
Mvumvure also became the second Tiger to win the Penn Relays 100-meter dash title, crossing the finish line with a time of 10.33 seconds.
Stowers raced past foes in the women’s 100-meter hurdles at the Relays, running the event in 13.16 seconds. Stowers became the seventh Lady Tiger in the history of the Penn Relays to win the event.
 
MACK WINS LSWA PITCHER OF THE WEEK AGAIN
LSU junior pitcher Brittany Mack was voted the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday, marking the sixth time she has won the award this season.
Mack won three games and picked up a save last week to improve her record to 16-5. She leads the team in ERA (1.78), innings (149.2) and strikeouts (169).
Mack won all three games in LSU’s sweep of Mississippi State last weekend, tallying 31 strikeouts in two starts. She picked up her third win in relief, firing 3 2/3 scoreless innings with six strikeouts.
