The LSU Tigers will square off against the UCLA Bruins on Monday night at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha (Neb.) with an opportunity to clinch a spot in the College World Series semifinals.

Jay Johnson's crew is fresh off of a critical victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday behind a gem from left-handed pitcher, Kade Anderson.

With the win, LSU moved into the winner's bracket with a date set against the UCLA Bruins in Game 2 on Monday.

“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. 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," Johnson said.

“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, with a clash against UCLA locked in, Day 4 of College World Series play has arrived with the Tigers looking to make a statement once again.
