RIP to George Foreman. I'm part of the generation that got through college and early adulthood with his grill playing a big role.

Stanfield doubles to left. Hernandez scores for the third multi-run inning of the night for LSU. It's a 6-2 lead for the Tigers with RISP and one out in the top of the seventh.

Braswell drops a bunt. Not enough spin for it to go foul. A run scores and Braswell is safe.
