LAFAYETTE — No. 17 LSU rolled past Louisiana 8-0 in five innings Tuesday night at Lamson Park, powered by a dominant pitching performance from Jayden Heavener and a five-run second inning that broke the game open.

Heavener (11-6) was flawless in the circle, tossing a complete-game no-hitter while allowing just two walks and striking out two over five innings. The Tigers limited Louisiana to 15 batters and did not allow a runner past first base.
LSU (29-14) did most of its damage in the second inning, capitalizing on walks and timely hitting. Destiny Harris delivered a two-run single, Avery Hodge added an RBI groundout, and Jalia Lassiter capped the inning with a two-run home run to right-center to make it 5-0.
The Tigers extended the lead in the third when Sierra Daniel was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and added two more runs in the fourth on a two-run homer from Char Lorenz.
Lorenz finished 2-for-2 with two RBIs and two runs scored, while Lassiter and Harris each drove in two runs. LSU scored eight runs on six hits while drawing seven walks.
Louisiana (22-22) struggled offensively, failing to record a hit against Heavener. The Ragin’ Cajuns drew two walks but struck out twice and left two runners on base.
Julianne Tipton (4-5) took the loss after allowing three runs in one inning of work. Louisiana used three pitchers, but LSU’s early surge proved too much to overcome.
