Schedule Change: LSU baseball will play Arkansas in Saturday doubleheader

The Tigers will play Game 2 at 1 p.m. CT with Game 3 following at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] mentioned in his press conference on Thursday that LSU might move Sunday’s Game 3 against Arkansas to Saturday due to the possibility of inclement weather, and that is exactly what happened.

The series finale against the Razorbacks was moved to Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. CT as the second leg of a doubleheader.

Johnson confirmed that even though the teams have decided on a doubleheader, both games will still be nine innings instead of seven. Game 2 is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and Game 3 will follow.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] is scheduled to get the start in the first leg and [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] is expected to get the start in the second.

As for Friday’s Game 1, the first pitch is scheduled for noon CT. [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] is on the mound as the Tigers take on the No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks at Alex Box Stadium. This series will be must-watch television, so be sure to tune in.
