First baseman Jared Jones blasted two homers and collected five RBI Wednesday night as top-ranked LSU defeated North Dakota State, 13-3, in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The game was halted after the top of the seventh inning due to the 10-run rule.

A hit by pitch, a sacrifice fly out and four singles later, LSU had put up seven runs in the first inning on Wednesday against North Dakota State at Alex Box Stadium. Freshman right-handed starter Garrett Shupe, in his collegiate debut, couldn't escape the first. He exited after the fifth run came across with two outs.

In possibly the most unsurprising turn of events, LSU had an answer for the Bison in the bottom of the frame. With the top of the order due up, Derek Curiel drew a walk, and a couple batters later, Daniel Dickinson laced his fourth home run of the season over the left field wall to draw back within two runs of the Bison.
