The LSU Tigers will be prime time players to open the College World Series on Saturday. As expected, LSU and Arkansas will meet in the final game of the first two days in Omaha at 6 p.m. Saturday on ESPN. The game is by far the marquee matchup of the first two days of the CWS. Here's the full schedule (all games on ESPN) 1 p.m. Friday: No. 13-seeded Coastal Carolina vs. Arizona6 p.m. Friday: No. 8 Oregon State vs. Louisville1 p.m. Saturday: No. 15 UCLA vs. Murray State6 p.m. Saturday: No. 3 Arkansas vs. No. 6 LSUI've got a column for you about the Tigers atypical route to a typical destination in the CWS, having to fend off lowly Little Rock in a regional then use a bunch of walks, errors and hit batters to beat West Virginia in two in the super regional. I've also got a quick update for you on legendary LSU coach Skip Bertman, who says he plans to be in Omaha at some point with the Tigers. Finally, Reed Darcey has a feature on LSU's offense and asks an important question: after scoring double digit runs in two super regional games for the first time ever, can LSU take this offense to the CWS? Thanks for reading and subscribing folks. I'll write to you next time from Omaha. Scott Rabalais |
