Five takeaways from LSU baseball's sweep of South Carolina

LSU baseball swept South Carolina in a weekend series in Baton Rouge, ending a nine-game conference losing streak to improve to a 9-15 conference record. The Tigers' dominant starting pitching was a highlight, with pitcher Serna remaining in strong form throughout the series. South Carolina, who fired head coach Paul Mainieri earlier this season, ranked near the bottom of the SEC, while LSU now faces a tougher test traveling to Georgia to face the SEC-leading Bulldogs.
