He hit a home run to right field to give LSU an 11-10 lead at the time. Knowing he got it all, Dardar flipped his bat high in the air to put an exclamation point on the dinger.

LSU was down 7-0 in the bottom of the third inning before going on the comeback trail. The Tigers cut the deficit to within one run before Kentucky added three more runs in the fifth inning.

But after Dardar’s homer, LSU’s bullpen buckled down and didn’t give up any more runs.
