Game Times Announced for LSU/West Virginia Super Regional
Baton Rouge, Louisiana (KNGT-FM) - The LSU Tigers proved to be the Cardiac Cats last night in Baton Rouge after they took down the Little Rock Trojans in a come-from-behind effort to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals for the 17th time in program history.
The Tigers will gear up for a date with the West Virginia Mountaineers this weekend in Baton Rouge.
LSU was aided Monday Night by some heroics after falling behind 5-1 early to the Trojans as Ethan Frey, Casan Evans, and Luis Hernandez stepped up big for the Tigers. Frey was 4-for-4 at the plate Monday night with a home run, two doubles, two walks, two runs, and four RBI to lead LSU’s 11-hit output. Catcher Luis Hernandez blasted two solo homers and collected three RBI, and first baseman Jared Jones launched a two-run dinger, his 20th home run of the season.
Freshman Casan Evans will likely go down as the savior of the night after he entered the game in the second inning and limited the Trojans to one run on four hits in 6.0 innings with three walks and a career-best 12 strikeouts, including 9 in a row.
LSU will host West Virginia this weekend in an NCAA Super Regional in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The best two-of-three series will begin with Game 1 on Saturday at 1 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised on ESPN.
Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday at 5 p.m. CT on ESPN2, and Game 3, if necessary, would be played on Monday at a time to be determined.
