The Pitching Matchup: LSU Baseball vs. UCLA Bruins in College World Series Showdown

The LSU Tigers return to action on Monday night at Charles Schwab Field for a clash against the UCLA Bruins as both programs continue their quests at a National Championship.

After taking down the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday, LSU will square off against a fiery Bruins club that presents another unique challenge.

“UCLA is a great team and has been one of the most consistent teams in the country this year. With the schedule that we play, we’ve actually seen some teams like them along the way.," Johnson said. "They play a really good brand of baseball and have some of the best players in the country. They have a very strong identity on offense, a style of play that they’re committed to.

“Our preparation and execution have been excellent throughout our time in Omaha, and the vibe of our team has been very good. Our players have a sense of who they need to be and when they need to be it. It’s all about execution, and execution is a direct reflection of your preparation and focus.”

Now, the stage is set with LSU looking to punch a ticket to the College World Series semifinals with a victory on Monday.
