Happy homecoming

Great story tonight at Fair Grounds Field.

LSU pitcher T.J. Forrest, who grew up in Benton and finished his high school career at Haughton, comes back home and makes his collegiate debut starting against Centenary.

He throws three shutout innings and is impressive in his LSU debut.

Now, I'm not ready to say he's the next Ben McDonald or Brett Laxton, but Forrest showed enough to give LSU fans a little bit of hope.

That being said, this is an offensively challenged team. And that is not a good thing going into the SEC.
