We were supposed to have afternoon super regional baseball at Alex Box Stadium, but the start of the game was delayed from the scheduled 2 p.m. CT first pitch.
Now, we get to see Game 1 of the Baton Rouge Super Regional under the lights. The matchup against the Kentucky Wildcats is set to start at 7:06 p.m. CT.
The weather in the Baton Rouge area seemed to be fairly clear, but coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] affirmed entering the weekend that the team didn’t want to play until it was sure it had a clean window to finish the game with star [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] getting the start on the mound.
It seems that window will not come until later tonight.
⚾️ Baton Rouge Update ⚾️
Game 1️⃣ will start today at 8:06 pm ET#RoadToOmaha

The Wildcats are looking to avenge a regular-season series loss to the Tigers, while Johnson’s team is looking to capitalize on the momentum built from a 3-0 weekend at the Baton Rouge Regional.
LSU is looking to return to the College World Series for the first time since 2017.
