Baton Rouge Regional Preview: LSU Baseball's Opponents, Start Times and Schedule

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will return to Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field on Friday for an NCAA Tournament clash against the Little Rock Trojans.

Following an impressive 2025 campaign for the Bayou Bengals, LSU will has earned a prized Top-8 national seed with the program presented with the opportunity to host both a Regional and Super Regional.

Now, the Tigers will have postseason baseball in Baton Rouge this weekend with the program preparing for the challenge ahead.

LSU is battle-tested heading into the NCAA Tournament after squaring off against the top programs in America while competing in the SEC.

"It's a great training ground for Omaha. It's a 30-game playoff in the SEC. You've got to go out there and every game counts the same, and then obviously here in the SEC tournament you're playing for a chance to host a regional and a super regional and then even better, win a tournament," LSU first baseman Jared Jones said.

"That's something I didn't get to do while I was here at LSU, and it's on to the next one with regional and whatever else is ahead of us."

A look into the Baton Rouge Regional schedule, start times, broadcast information and other programs that will be hosting NCAA Regionals this weekend.
