The college baseball season is underway. At Louisiana State University, the return of weekend home games means the return of the popular “Soldier Salute” program -- in which the LSU team and fan base honors a service member.

Over the weekend, LSU took it a step further -- honoring the entire Air Force and Army baseballs teams with whom they were playing against. That meant ever-rare in-game handshake lines. Take a look:

For the competitive folks in the crowd, rest assured that same generosity did not extend to the rest of the weekend. LSU topped Army by a combined 16-0 score in a doubleheader -- senior southpaw Jared Poche threw a seven-inning no-hitter in the second of those games. Meanwhile, at last check LSU held a 7-3 lead over Air Force. 

Still, nice gestures on LSU’s part all the same.
