How social media reacted to LSU's Cade Arrambide's historic game
LSU baseball capped a series win against Tennessee with a 16-6 victory in 12 innings on Sunday. The Tigers fell behind early in the rubber match but found rhythm at the plate down the stretch.
Cade Arrambide keyed the turnaround on offense. The sophomore hit four home runs against the Volunteers on Sunday, including a go-ahead grand slam in the 12th inning. He hit three solo shots earlier in the game.
The catcher saw reduced attempts at the plate as he was struggling to record quality at-bats. When he got his opportunities, Arrambide didn't falter. He saw the ball well on Sunday and helped LSU get a much-needed series win in the SEC.
Arrambide's first solo home run came in the fifth inning, opening the scoring for the purple and gold to make the score 5-1 in favor of Tennessee. His next one came in the seventh, sandwiched in between home runs by John Pearson and Seth Dardar. The Tigers trailed by one at the end of the frame.
In the 11th inning, Arrambide put LSU ahead by one run with a solo shot. He followed it up in the 12th inning with a grand slam, opening the floodgates for LSU to score 10 runs and run away with the victory.
