Update: The game has been canceled due to weather
After dropping the weekend series to the Texas A&M Aggies, the LSU Baseball team returns to action as the Tigers play host to Grambling State. The LSU Baseball team will look to get momentum back at a crucial period in the season with postseason play right around the corner. Heading into this matchup, D1Baseball ranks LSU as the 3rd ranked team, USA Today's 4th ranked team, and Baseball America's 6th ranked team.
The LSU Tigers enter this matchup with a 38-11 record on the season and bounced back last week after losing their first midweek matchup the week prior. Grambling State hasn't had the best season as they enter this matchup with a 21-23 record this season. This game should be one LSU dominates, and the Tigers need to leave with a win as you can't afford to lose games that could be an argument against your resume when the NCAA selection committee meets and decides the Top 8 seeds.
This weekend, LSU's offense scored just 7 runs across 27 innings against a Texas A&M team that likely won't have any pitchers on the All-SEC team. In this game, you'd like to see LSU string together better at-bats to find a rhythm heading into a crucial weekend against Arkansas.
Who Could Start for LSU?
The LSU Baseball team hardly burned any relievers as the Tigers got great depth starts out of Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson. Given the importance of this weekend's series against Arkansas, Jay Johnson will likely look to piece this game together with his bullpen. William Schmidt should get the start as Jay Johnson continues to bring him along as the Tigers will need him if they're going to make a run in the College World Series.
