Baton Rouge Regional Bracket Update: LSU Baseball Looks to Reach Super Regionals

The top-ranked LSU Tigers return to Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field on Monday night in a winner-take-all matchup to determine the champion of the Baton Rouge Regional.

Jay Johnson and the Tigers will square off against the Little Rock Trojans in a critical rematch with all eyes on the Bayou Bengals looking to keep their season alive.

After dropping Sunday's matchup to the Trojans, LSU will have an opportunity to bounce back on Monday and rebound against a fiery Little Rock squad.

“Great job by Little Rock [on Sunday],” Johnson said. “Winning two games against two great teams, and you’ve got to tip your hat to them. They took a lot of good at-bats throughout the day.

"I watched their entire first game as it was transpiring and it was complete performance by them. I think our game tonight kind of speaks for itself where it got away from us and we'll leave it here tonight, turn all our focus to tomorrow and find a way to play great.”

The Trojans were led by first baseman Angel Cano where he played a pivotal role in Little Rock advancing to Monday's winner-take-all matchup.

Cano was 2-for-5 at the plate with a two-run homer and a three-run double, as Little Rock erased an early 3-0 LSU lead with six combined runs in the second and third innings.

Now, all eyes are on Monday's NCAA Baton Rouge Regional Championship Game with the winner set to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Super Regionals.
