After dropping the conference series to Auburn last weekend, LSU is now projected as the No. 2 national seed in the NCAA tournament.
According to D1baseball, the Tigers will host a regional in Baton Rouge and play against [autotag]Cal State Fullerton[/autotag], [autotag]UTSA[/autotag], and [autotag]Nicholls[/autotag]. LSU is quite familiar with Nicholls. The Tigers are 1-1 against their in-state opponent with the last game resulting in a 6-5 loss in Baton Rouge.
UTSA is one of the hottest teams in the country right now. The Roadrunners are 36-12 overall this season and 19-4 in conference play. They’re a top-25 squad and possibly a top-15 team. They will give anyone they face a run for their money.
Cal State Fullerton is a team that is historically good at college baseball. Its name always seems to pop up around the time regional play starts. The Titans are 28-16 this season and 17-4 in conference play.
LSU’s next series will start on Friday at 7:30 p.m. CT against Mississippi State. This will be the last home conference series of the season.
