Midway through the sixth inning of Saturday’s SEC baseball showdown between LSU and Kentucky, the Tigers’ Jared Jones went yard.
But as touched all the bases on his way around the diamond, he also touched off an apparently profane tirade towards the Wildcats’ pitcher.
“F—k you, p---y!” Jones seemed to shout at the direction of the mound. “F—k you!”
Jones was 2-for-4 on the afternoon with two RBI. He has now pounded 11 home runs on the season.
The dinger also proved crucial as the Tigers won the game 7-6.
“I sensed an awesome focus with Jared today,” LSU coach Jay Johnson said of Jones, via the team’s website. “I had a good gut feeling that he was locked in and ready to go. On the second homer, he got on top of a fastball and hit it a mile. That was impressive. He’s becoming such a good player, and I’m really proud of his development.”
LSU is now 29-6 overall and 9-5 in SEC play.
