Coming off a perfect 4-0 weekend at Alex Box Stadium against Butler and Central Connecticut in which the Tigers earned three run-rule wins, LSU is back on the diamond on Wednesday night for a home matchup against the Lamar Cardinals.
The Cardinals (10-2) began the season 9-0 before dropping two of three against Penn this past weekend, though they did manage to take the rubber match on Sunday. LSU (11-1), meanwhile, won all of its games by at least 10 runs and remained the unanimous No. 1 team in the polls following the weekend.
Lamar is led by seventh-year coach Will Davis, a former LSU catcher and later assistant under [autotag]Paul Mainieri[/autotag] from 2008-15.
“I have a lot of respect for (Lamar coach) Will Davis and his program,” coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] said in a release. “He does a great job; I think he’s put that roster together about as well as you can. They have veteran players who are competitive and tough. They also use their pitchers the right way, so we’ve got a lot of preparation to do.”
Here’s everything you need to know to follow this one, which is set to start at 6:30 p.m. CT.
