Box Score BATON ROUGE --  Tyler Moore and Alex Bregman's eight runs knocked in apiece led an offensive outburst from No. 8 LSU in a 27-0 weather-shortened  win over the Northwestern State baseball team on a rainy Tuesday night  at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field in the Demons' final mid-week game of the 2014 season.
 
Northwestern State (30-22) went without a hit through the sixth inning when the game was called due to lightning in the area.  The contest started one hour late due to weather, and was delayed again in the third inning because of lightning.  
 
Moore powered a grand slam in the first inning that put the Tigers (37-14-1) up 6-0 before Mark Laird singled through the right side to make it 7-0 after the first inning. Sean McMullen, who was honored with three other Tiger seniors for Senior Day, knocked in the first run on a double to left center that scored Alex Bregman.  Christian Ibbarra drew a bases –loaded walk that scored Chris Chinea. 
 
Moore knocked in three more runs in the four-run second inning on a double to centerfield that scored Conner Hale, Danny Zardon and McMullen.  Andrew Stevenson knocked in the fourth run of the inning on a single through the right side.
 
Moore knocked in the third score of a seven-run third inning on a single to right field that pushed across McMullen.  The first two runs were scored on Jake Fraley's pinch-hit home run to right field.  Bregman also knocked in a couple of runs on a double to left center.
 
Bregman had the big hit in the fourth inning with a grand slam to left field that scored Cade Stone, Chris Sciambra and Kade Scivicque.  Kramer Robertson kick-started the inning with a two-run home run that scored Zardon.
 
Andrew Adams (1-2) was tagged with the loss in his first start of the season.  He lasted two-thirds of an inning and gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and four walks.  Evan Tidwell relieved him and pitched 1.1 innings with four runs allowed on six hits.
 
Reid Peavy appeared in his first game of the season and pitched 1.1 innings.   He allowed seven runs (five earned) on five hits and two walks. Hunter Duvic pitched two-thirds of an inning and gave up five runs on four hits and one walk.  Brandon Smith lasted one-third of an inning and gave up one run on two hits, and Joey Parrack pitched 1.2 innings and gave up three runs on three hits and a walk.
 
LSU went through five pitchers, and started one of its weekend starters in Jared Poche, who took the win on one inning pitched.  Kyle Bouman allowed one base runner, when he hit Cort Brinson with a pitcher in two frames pitched. Nate Fury and Kurt McCune were both perfect, each pitched one inning apiece.  Joe Broussard allowed one base runner on a walk in one inning pitched.
 
Bregman was 4-of-5 on the day with four runs scored, and Moore was 3-of-4 at the plate with four runs scored.  Fraley and Zardon finished with three hits, and Stevenson and Sciambra each had two.  Fraley, Sciambra, and Robertson all had two RBIs on the night.
 
The Tigers finished the game with 23 hits and no errors.  They drew eight walks and struck out four times.  NSU drew one walk and one hit by pitch, and struck out nine times.
 
NSU will turn its sights to Southeastern Louisiana and a chance to claim a share of the Southland Conference championship in the final series of the season.  The first game is slated for 6 o'clock on Thursday, and will continue on Friday at 6:00 before the finale on Saturday at 2 o'clock.
