LSU and Samford finished their fall baseball exhibition in a 5-5 tie on Sunday. The game, part of both teams' preseason preparations, saw the Tigers and Bulldogs exchange leads throughout the contest before settling for a draw.
The exhibition provided both coaching staffs an opportunity to evaluate roster depth ahead of the 2027 spring season. LSU, coming off a strong 2026 campaign, used the game to test multiple pitchers and positional combinations.
Samford, meanwhile, looked to build momentum after a competitive 2026 season. The Bulldogs matched the SEC program run for run, showcasing their offensive resilience.
No official statistics were released for the exhibition, which was played under relaxed substitution rules typical of fall ball. Both teams will continue their fall schedules before the official season begins in February.
