LSU stays on roll in regional

BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU made it look easy as expected Friday afternoon in a 12-1 whipping of error-prone Texas Southern in the first game of the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional baseball tournament.
After surprising everyone and winning the SWAC Tournament title to get to the NCAA Regional, TSU got a serious dose of reality against the No. 1 seed.
TSU committed three errors, but it seemed like many more as LSU cruised through the Tigers from Texas.
"We made some critical errors at the beginning and in the middle innings," said Candy Robinson, TSU head coach. "We gave the LSU pitchers four or five outs and gave LSU hitters four or five outs when we probably should have gotten three outs."

Ron Higgins of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports in with a couple of interesting notes from the Southeastern Conference meetings at Sandestin, Fla.
One, LSU head football coach Les Miles was aware, the coach said, of former Tigers quarterback Ryan Perrilloux's medical condition -- diagnosed as obsessive-compulsive disorder -- that the quarterback blamed on his recent erractic behavior. Perrilloux recently was dismissed from the LSU program and has joined Jacksonville (Ala.) State and former Arkansas Razorback head coach Jack Crowe.
