7 Tigers crack Baton Rouge Regional All-Tournament team

Dylan Crews headlined the group, being named the Most Outstanding Player from the tournament.

It was a fantastic weekend of baseball for LSU at the Baton Rouge Regional this weekend.

The Tigers went 3-0, taking down Oregon State in the first game of the regional final to advance to their 16th super regional in program history, which ranks as the second most all-time.

Unsurprisingly, after a dominant performance from LSU this weekend, its players litter the Baton Rouge Regional All-Tournament team, which was announced Monday.

Seven Tigers were ultimately chosen, headlined by center fielder [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag], who was also named the regional’s Most Outstanding Player, ending a slight slump he had been in to close out the regular season.

Here’s a rundown of each player to receive honors as LSU prepares to host SEC foe and No. 12 national seed Kentucky in a super regional this weekend.

The Tigers had a perfect 3-0 record this weekend in the Baton Rouge Regional.

LSU capped off a perfect 3-0 weekend at Alex Box Stadium with a 13-7 win over Oregon State on Monday.

That was the second win over the Beavers in as many days, and it allowed the Tigers to capture a regional title and advance to the super regionals for the 16th time in program history (and the first time since 2021).

All three of LSU’s usual starters were unavailable, and coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] turned to the bullpen to secure the win. [autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] got the nod with [autotag]Nate Ackenhausen[/autotag], [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] and [autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] coming in to finish things off.

LSU’s offense was the real star of the show. The Tigers had 19 hits as a team with four different players — [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag], [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag], [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] — hitting home runs.

Now, LSU will await the winner of the Lexington Regional final between No. 12 national seed Kentucky and Indiana. That series will be played in Baton Rouge again.

In the meantime, here were the best photos as LSU closed out the regional final against the Beavers.

REGIONAL CHAMPS: Twitter reacts as LSU punches its ticket to super regionals against Oregon State

The Tigers will look to advance to the College World Series for the first time since 2017.

The Tigers had two games to get a victory on Monday and advance out of the Baton Rouge Regionals, but it only took one as LSU dispatched Oregon State 13-7 in the regional final.

The Tigers are now moving on to their 16th super regional in program history and the first since 2021. They will have to await the evening results on Monday to learn their opponent, which will either be No. 12 national seed Kentucky or Indiana.

Regardless of the opponent, that best-of-three series will be held at Alex Box Stadium next weekend.

With the Tigers moving on and now looking to advance to the College World Series for the first time since 2017, when they finished as the national runner-up, here’s how LSU Twitter reacted.

SUPER SHOWING: LSU beats Oregon State to win Baton Rouge Regional, advance to super regional

LSU will host a super regional at Alex Box Stadium against either Kentucky or Indiana this weekend.

For the 16th time in program history, LSU is advancing to the super regionals after a 13-7 win over Oregon State in the Baton Rouge Regional final.

[autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] got the nod on the mound on Monday afternoon as LSU looked to punch its ticket to the Baton Rouge Super Regional. LSU would have to beat Oregon State just once in two games to make that happen.

The Tigers drew first blood in the top of the fourth inning when they scored four runs on a bases-loaded hit by pitch, a sacrifice fly by [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag], and a two-RBI triple by [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag].

In the bottom of the fourth, the Beavers cut the lead in half with a two-run homer to cut the lead to 4-2. In the top of the fifth inning, LSU got those runs back as [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] and [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] hit back-to-back homers for the second day in a row to increase the lead to 6-2.

In the top of the sixth inning, [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] hit a Crews Missile off of the Tony Chachere sign in left-center field to increase the lead to 7-2. The Beavers struck again in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run shot to cut the lead to 7-4 after six innings.

In the top of the seventh, LSU put the game out of reach as the Tigers scored five more runs to make it 12-4 LSU after seven innings. [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] hit a homer, [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] hit a two-RBI single, Crews scored on a wild pitch, and White scored on an RBI single by Travinski.

In the top of the ninth, LSU scored again on an RBI double by [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] to make it 13-4. Oregon State was down to its final three outs of the season, and the Beavers scored a run to cut the lead to 13-7 but that is all they could manage as the Tigers secured a spot in the supers next weekend.

LSU will play the winner of the Lexington Regional between No. 12 Kentucky and Indiana in its super regional.

Jay Johnson breaks down Thatcher Hurd’s gutsy performance in win over Oregon State

A delay forced Hurd into the game with a spot in the regional final on the line, and he got the job done.

LSU entered its winners’ bracket with a plan on the mound, but if there’s one fact of life about playing June baseball in Louisiana, it’s that those plans can change quickly.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] got the start on the mound, allowing just one earned run in three innings. But in the bottom of the third, the game went to a rain delay. Floyd had already thrown 71 pitches, and that pause proved to be the end of his day.

Coach Jay Johnson had to turn to [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag], who could have potentially started a regional final game on Monday if Floyd was able to continue. Instead, he entered in relief in this one trying to overcome a one-run deficit.

He didn’t have the best start, giving up a leadoff homer to begin the fourth and an RBI single later in the inning, but he settled in after that. Coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] praised Hurd’s composure in bouncing back from an early home run.

“I think it was great,” Johnson said according to On3’s Billy Embody. “The home run right off the bat and then Forrester doubled, and then he really got himself in gear and minimized the damage right there. I thought that was huge. And then twice, they had first and second-one out, and when I went out to the mound and he went strike out, strike out both times.

“When you think about a one-run game, leaving the traffic there and getting himself reset, with that type of pitchability gives him the chance to be successful. He was successful tonight. That’s one of the best performances I’ve seen in a long time.”

Though Hurd entered in relief, Johnson said the lengthy rain delay allowed him to go through his typical pre-start routine. Ultimately, Hurd pitched five innings. Though he allowed four earned runs, he also struck out 12 batters en route to earning his sixth win of the season in a 6-5 victory.

With [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag], Floyd and Hurd all unavailable heading into the regional final, the Tigers will have to turn to their bullpen arms to emerge victorious. Still, Johnson said he likes where this team is at in terms of available arms.

The Tigers will face Oregon State in a rematch on Monday at the Baton Rouge Regional final.

Photos from LSU baseball’s NCAA regional win over Oregon State on Sunday

The Tigers will face the Beavers in a regional final rematch on Monday.

The Tigers will play two games needing to win just one of them to advance to the super regional on Monday thanks to a win over Oregon State on Sunday.

LSU overcame a lengthy rain delay at the bottom of the third that caused starter [autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] to come out of the game as well as an early deficit. With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth, [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] came up clutch with a solo go-ahead home run that ultimately proved to be the difference.

The Tigers will face Oregon State in a rematch in the regional final on Monday at 1 p.m. CT. With a win, they’ll advance to the super regionals, which they would host. If they lose, the Beavers will force a winner-take-all Game 7.

In the meantime, here were the best photos from Sunday’s win over OSU.

How to watch LSU vs. Oregon State in the Baton Rouge Regional final

Here’s how you can watch LSU take on Oregon State on Monday.

LSU is set for another match with Oregon State after the Beavers fought off elimination into early Monday morning.

LSU enters with the upper hand, having started the regional 2-0 and already beating Oregon State once on Sunday.

It was a back-and-forth thriller that saw LSU jump ahead late thanks to a [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] home run.

The story this weekend has been the weather. The last two days of play have been marred by rain delays and more precipitation could be in the fold on Monday.

LSU needs one win to advance. In the event that Oregon State wins the early game, the two would meet for a game seven later in the day.

LSU takes down Oregon State to advance to Baton Rouge Regional final

LSU punched its ticket to the regional final with a 6-5 win over the Beavers after a weather delay.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] got the start on the mound as the LSU Tigers looked to punch their ticket into a regional final. To punch that ticket, they would need to beat a really good Oregon State team.

After a lengthy weather delay, the Tigers ultimately got the job done. They won 6-5 and will advance to the regional final on Sunday.

Oregon State hit a solo shot to draw first blood in the top of the third inning to give them a 1-0 lead. Then the rain came, and the game was delayed.

After the delay, [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag] took over on the mound and the Beavers greeted him by scoring two more runs in the top of the fourth inning. LSU got both of those runs back in the bottom of the inning, though, when [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] hit a two-run Crews missile to cut the lead to 3-2.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] and [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] hit back-to-back homers to give LSU their first lead of the ballgame as the Tigers led 4-3 after five innings.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, LSU got an insurance run when [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] hit a solo shot to increase the lead to 5-3.

In the top of the seventh, the Beavers tied the game on a two-run homer against Hurd to knot the game up 5-5 as we headed to the eighth. In the eighth inning, [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] hit a solo shot to give LSU the lead once again. LSU loaded the bases but couldn’t score any more runs and we headed to the ninth inning with the Tigers holding on to a 6-5 lead.

[autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] entered to pitch the ninth inning as he tried to earn a save. He struck out the first batter he faced before the second batter hit a single. The third batter grounded into a fielder’s choice for out No. 2.

Guidry struck out the final batter as LSU punched their ticket to the regional final.

LSU will likely play the regional championship game on Sunday against either Oregon State or Sam Houston State, unless we have more weather delays.

LSU baseball’s regional game vs. Oregon State in a weather delay

Weather continues to complicate things at the Baton Rouge Regional this weekend.

Weather continues to complicate things at the Baton Rouge Regional this weekend.

With LSU trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the third in Sunday’s game against Oregon State, which itself was rescheduled from Saturday night, paused due to lightning in the area.

As of publication, there’s no timetable for the game resuming. The loser of this game was set to face Sam Houston State at 9 p.m. CT, but now it’s unclear if that game will be pushed back or even moved to Monday.

The official LSU baseball Twitter account encouraged fans in attendance at Alex Box Stadium to seek shelter, and fans who leave the stadium will be permitted to return.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] got the start on the mound, allowing five hits but just one earned run in three innings with five strikeouts and two walks. Now, his day will almost certainly be over as LSU will likely turn to the bullpen whenever the game resumes.
