LSU baseball falls in the polls after being swept by Arkansas

The Tigers only appeared in three of the five national polls after they dropped all three games in Fayetteville.

Baseball is a game of ebb and flow. Some days you are on top of the world and other days you can’t dig yourself out of a hole.

Two weeks ago, LSU had a 4-0 week where things couldn’t have been any better. Last week, it went 0-3, and things couldn’t have been any worse. The Tigers took a trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas, and things did not go according to plan.

LSU had an opportunity to win one or two games against the Razorbacks but they just couldn’t capitalize. This week, LSU returned to the confines of the Bayou as they played against the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns on Tuesday night and got back in the win column.

Now, LSU sets its sights on the Missouri Tigers for a weekend series at Alex Box Stadium. Another 4-0 weekend could go a long way for the psyche of this team and its fanbase.

After this series, there are only four SEC series left before the postseason. LSU will play Georgia at home, travel to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama, play Ole Miss at home and travel to Nashville to play against Vanderbilt.

If the Tigers can find a way to get hot at the right time, they could find themselves hosting a regional in the NCAA Tournament next month.
