The top-ranked LSU Tigers took down the Dallas Baptist Patriots 12-0 on Saturday night at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field to advance to Sunday's Baton Rouge Regional Final.

Behind the arm of ace Kade Anderson, the Tigers handled business with the program now one win away from punching its ticket to the Super Regionals.

Anderson (9-1) limited DBU Saturday night to just four hits in 7.0 scoreless frames with two walks and 11 strikeouts.

He has 156 strikeouts this season and is now tied for sixth place on LSU’s single-season strikeouts list with right-hander Russ Springer (1988) and left-hander Eddie Yarnall (1996).

DBU starting pitcher Micah Bucknam (6-2) was charged with the loss, as he surrendered six runs – three earned – on four hits in 2.2 innings with two walks and two strikeouts.

LSU will square off against the winner of the Dallas Baptist and Little Rock elimination game tomorrow night at Alex Box Stadium.
