After a one-year hiatus from the Astros Foundation Classic, LSU is returning to make a run for the crown.
LSU played against Baylor, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and UCLA in 2022 with the Bruins finishing with the best record that year. In 2024, LSU will face Texas, Texas State, Louisiana, Vanderbilt and Houston.
The Tigers will take on Texas on Friday, Louisiana on Saturday, and Texas State on Sunday. Fresh off of winning a national title, the Tigers will be tested early in 2024. I am excited to see a possible [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] vs. Texas Part 2.
Hurd made his first start of the season against Southern and it did not go well. His next start was against Texas and he shut the Longhorns down for 4.2 innings as he allowed zero earned runs on three hits, four strikeouts, and three walks.
LSU playing against Louisiana is always a fun game to watch and playing the game during primetime will only amplify that. The last time LSU played Houston was in the Astros Foundation Classic in 2015. Current Houston Astros third baseman [autotag]Alex Bregman[/autotag] led the Tigers to a 4-2 win in that game.
