Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will open NCAA Tournament play on Friday against the Little Rock Trojans in the Baton Rouge Regional at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

After earning a coveted Top-8 seed, Johnson and Co. will have the opportunity to host both a Regional and Super Regional in the Bayou State.

First up: The Baton Rouge Regional.

LSU will host the Dallas Baptist Patriots, Rhode Island Rams and Little Rock Trojans this weekend in Alex Box Stadium to begin tournament play.

The Tigers open their postseason run against Little Rock with the Game 1 start time delayed due to inclement weather in the Baton Rouge area.

Following a near three-hour weather delay with lighting in the area and potential inclement weather in the forecast, a new 5:06 p.m. CT first pitch time was set.

Then, with inclement weather remaining in the area, LSU versus Little Rock was pushed back once again.
