Super regional Game 1 vs. Kentucky to begin at 9:06 p.m. CT

There will (hopefully) be some late night baseball at The Box.

Game 1 against Kentucky was slated to start at 2 p.m. CT Saturday, but the weather delayed that until 7:06. Once 7:06 rolled around, the radar still didn’t look good so the start was delayed for another two hours.

Now, the Tigers and Wildcats will finally get underway (we hope) at 9:30 p.m. CT on ESPN News.

[autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] had started to warm up in the bullpen shortly before the attempted 8:06 start time, and both teams had started stretching when [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] pulled Skenes out of the pen and we were delayed for another hour.

The Tigers will look to take Game 1 with Skenes on the mound. LSU hasn’t advanced out of the super regionals to the College World Series since 2017.
