BATON ROUGE, La. – A five-run fourth inning was the difference in Purdue Fort Wayne's 8-1 loss at No. 2 LSU on Sunday (Feb. 16) afternoon at Alex Box Stadium.
The Mastodons led for three and a half innings thanks to a run in the first. Camden Karczewski scored on a double steal with Justin Osterhouse taking second on the play.

Carter Orner made his collegiate debut by throwing two scoreless innings out of the pen.
Osterhouse finished with a pair of singles for the 'Dons in the contest. Nick Hockemyer earned his first hit as a Mastodon.
