Following his complete game performance on Saturday, Eyanson was praised by his coach.
“Everybody saw tonight that Anthony is one of the best pitchers in the country,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “This is a great environment, a hostile environment, but Anthony is a competitor. There was no way I was taking him out of that game. He dominated the pitch count throughout the outing. He’s a great pitcher, but he’s also an elite competitor, and that’s what makes him special.”
