Time, TV info set for Game 1 of LSU’s super regional showdown against Kentucky on Saturday

The Tigers will begin the Baton Rouge Super Regional against the Wildcats at 2 p.m. CT on Saturday.

LSU clinched a spot in the super regionals for the 16th time in program history on Monday — second all-time in Division I behind Florida State, with 17 super regional appearances.

The Tigers will host Kentucky in a rematch after they took two of three games against the Wildcats in a regular season series earlier this year, also played at Alex Box Stadium.

Now, we know when this weekend’s super regional series will begin. Game 1 will be on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN. Times and broadcast information for Game 2 on Sunday and the if-necessary Game 3 on Monday are yet to be determined.

LSU has a 46-15 record on the season in coach Jay Johnson’s second season. As the No. 5 national seed in the country, the Tigers are looking to advance to the College World Series in Omaha for the first time since 2017.
