Good morning, Tigers.

LSU softball rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Virginia Tech 7-2 yesterday and claim the Baton Rouge Regional championship for the second time in three years. Maci Bergeron delivered the decisive blow with a two-run go-ahead single in a four-run third inning, her second game-winning hit in as many games, and finished the regional with a .600 batting average and four RBI.

Jalia Lassiter ignited the rally with a leadoff home run and added three hits on the weekend, while Paytn Monticelli earned her sixth consecutive win, retiring the final 16 batters she faced. LSU improves to 40-17, marking the program's fourth straight 40-win season, and advances to face No. 1 overall seed Alabama in Tuscaloosa in a best-of-three Super Regional May 21-24.

What else is mixed into today’s Bayou Brew?

The women's 4x100 team closed in a blistering 42.31, fourth in LSU history and second in the NCAA this season, while the men's 4x100 ran 38.35 to claim silver, ranking seventh in program history. Shawnti Jackson added a personal-best 22.33 in the women's 200-meter final for silver, and Princesse Hyman earned bronze in the women's discus at 58.37 meters.
