What To Know: LSU Hosts West Virginia in Baton Rouge Super Regional

Baton Rouge, Louisiana (KNGT-FM) - For College Baseball fans in Louisiana, you can't beat Super Regionals at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge! The LSU Tigers are getting set to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Super Regional in a best-of-three series with the winner punching their ticket to the College World Series in Omaha. We've got everything you need to know before the big matchup.

It wasn't always pretty during Regional Weekend as the college baseball world saw many National Seeds go down, but LSU wasn't one of those. Though things did get a little hairy down 5-1 in a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday Night, the Tigers were able to prevail and defeat Little Rock to advance to the Super Regionals.

The Tigers were able to get HUGE swings from guys like Ethan Frey, Luis Hernandez, Jared Jones, Steven Milam, and others to slug their way to a 10-6 win.

Don’t sleep on West Virginia, though. The Mountaineers went 3-0 in their Regional, including a crazy comeback win where they were down five runs in the 8th inning and still won. That team doesn’t quit.

They’ve got some big bats too, with a team average around .299. Skylar King, Jace Rinehart, Kyle West, and Armani Guzman all came up clutch in their regional. Guzman was even named the tournament MVP. When looking at the Mountaineers, their pitching might not be as deep as LSU in the bullpen, but they find ways to get it done.

This is the first time LSU and West Virginia have ever played each other, and it’s happening with a trip to Omaha on the line. If you're wanting to take a trip out to Alex Box Stadium for the Super Regionals, you better break out the Credit Card because the last time we checked, tickets aren't going for cheap on the resale markets.
