He hit a home run to right field to give LSU an 11-10 lead at the time. Since he knew he had it all figured out, Dardar threw his bat in the air to put the exclamation point on the dinger.

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

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

Dardar, who played at Kansas State and Columbia before transferring to LSU for the 2026 season, was 3 for 5 with a double, a home run and four RBIs.
