The LSU Tigers will return to action on Tuesday night for an in-state clash against the Northwestern State Demons at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
After being swept by the Ole Miss Rebels last weekend, Jay Johnson and Co. will look to get back in the win column after a disappointing SEC series in Oxford.
“We got dominated for the first six innings, you can’t lose sight of that," Johnson said after Game 3 “Rabe is a good pitcher, and we couldn’t do anything with him. We did come back from the late deficit on a Sunday, which we’ve done before, but we didn’t make the plays we needed to win the game.”
Now, the LSU Tigers eye an opportunity against an in-state opponent with first pitch inching closer in Baton Rouge as Johnson and Co. look to make a statement at home.
