Rebs Avoid Sweep

The Rebels rebounded today in full force as they put it on LSU to. avoid the sweep. It started with Evan Button's career first home run to get the bats going. If only the Rebels could have had some of those runs in the previous two games.

Well they did what I ask and avoided a sweep. It was the first time in three games they were able to get runners that were on base to home. They need to carry over the momentum to the Governor's Cup and to South Carolina this coming weekend. It is going to be four tough games.
