Herm got another complete game the easy way. I smiled when they hit that solo home run. I’m sure he doesn’t care but we have to give up at least one, right?
Just a good game. Hit very well, pitched well, defense solid. Took advantage of the panther freebeesComment

GAME 1 – LOUISIANA 14, GEORGIA STATE 1 (7 innings)
Herrmann (6-2) scattered five hits and fanned six batters in recording his fourth complete game of the season and moving into a tie for the national lead with Jaden Wywoda of Holy Cross. The southpaw kept GSU off the board until the seventh when Wesley Bass hit a solo homer to help the Panthers avoid a shutout.
Louisiana took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, beginning with Brown's fourth home run of the the season off GSU starter Brian Crooms (3-4) – a 411-foot blast to center. The Ragin' Cajuns added two more runs in the frame when Drew Markle lifted a sacrifice fly to drive in Blaze Rodriguez before Steven Spalitta slid in under the tag of Panther's catcher Lucas Grantham on a double steal.
The Ragin' Cajuns scored seven runs in the third as Brown drove in Lee Amedee with a bloop single to left for a 4-0 lead. Spalitta added an RBI single to plate Rigoberto Hernandez and Brown scored on a balk before Markle hit an RBI double into the left-center field gap.
Amedee drew a bases-loaded walk for an 8-0 lead before a wild throw on a pickoff led to runs by Mark Collins and Lewis.
LaSalle increased Louisiana's lead to 13-0 in the fourth after plastering a 0-and-1 pitch for his eighth homer of the season - a three-run, 424-foot drive to left.
The Cajuns added their final run in the fifth as Lewis scored on a fielding error.
Crooms allowed four runs on a pair of hits in 2.0 innings of work. Bass went 2-for-3 for the Panthers with Austin Killingworth and Cole Griffith each adding doubles.
