He led LSU to a series victory at Tennessee, establishing the school home run record with four on Sunday in the series-clinching 16-6 win over the Vols.
“I’ve never felt more alive in my life than watching the extra innings there.”

Arrambide became just the fourth player in SEC history to hit four homers in a game, and he was 5-for-6 on the day with seven RBIs, three solo homers and a grand slam that highlighted LSU’s 10-run outburst in the top of the 12th inning. He shared the player of the week award with Georgia’s Tre Phelps.
His first homer on Sunday came in the fifth inning with LSU trailing 5-0. His second homer in the seventh inning reduced Tennessee’s lead to 5-3, and his third homer gave LSU a 6-5 advantage in the top of the 11th.
After Tennessee tied the game in the bottom of the 11th, Arrambide’s grand slam in the 12th provided LSU with an 11-6 lead and highlighted a 10-run uprising.
LSU hosts Bethune-Cookman (22-10, 10-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday before playing a three-game SEC series Friday through Sunday at Ole Miss (22-11, 5-7 SEC), which took two over the weekend at No. 21 Florida.
