It’s almost time for the matchup we’ve been anticipating all season long.
A battle between the unanimous preseason No. 1 team in LSU (which held that spot for most of the season) and the team that ultimately wrested that spot away from it in Wake Forest.
The Demon Deacons (53-10) have been the most consistent team in college baseball all season long. They’re loaded with talent, and like LSU, they enter this game unbeaten in NCAA tournament play.
Coach Jay Johnson’s team will look to change that on Monday night when the Tigers face off against Wake Forest. The winner will secure a spot in the College World Series semifinals on Wednesday, while the loser will have to face either Stanford or Tennessee in an elimination game on Tuesday.
Here’s what you need to know to watch Monday night’s winners’ bracket showdown.
