Schedule Update: LSU Baseball vs. Arkansas Razorbacks in the College World Series

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers are back in Omaha with the program looking to capture its second National Championship in the last three seasons at Charles Schwab Field.

LSU will open College World Series play on Saturday night in a Southeastern Conference clash against the Arkansas Razorbacks.

It'll be a battle between two of the top pitchers in America with the Tigers rolling out Kade Anderson on the mound to challenge Arkansas' Zach Root.

For LSU, the program handled business during the regular season and into both the NCAA Regional and Super Regional to punch a ticket to Omaha.

“I’m very proud of our team’s consistency this season. To consistently play to their capability week in and week out against the caliber of teams that we play, that’s what championship teams do," Johnson said.

"I’m also proud of our ability to find different ways to win. We’re very tough to beat when we have all phases going, but even when we haven’t, we’ve been able to find ways to win, and I’m very proud of that.”

Now, the stage is set for Saturday night in Omaha (Neb.) with the Tigers and Razorbacks set to square off in the game of the weekend.
