No. 1 LSU will square off against the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday afternoon in an SEC Tournament semifinal matchup at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium with first pitch set for approximately 1:30 p.m. CT.

Jay Johnson and Co. handled business to open postseason play with a hard-fought victory over the the Texas A&M Aggies on Friday night.

It was the tandem of Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson on the mound that helped propel the Tigers to an SEC Tournament quarterfinals victory.

The duo combined for 16 total strikeouts with LSU shutting the door on the Aggies down the stretch in Hoover (Ala.)

“Kade Anderson, the best pitcher in the country; I’ll actually give him the tie for first with Anthony Eyanson. And Ethan Frey, just a spectacular hitter," Johnson said.

"This is what our program is all about, these guys. They’re great players, but even better human beings. The only way to get through this thing is talent and character, and I’m lucky to have these players on my team.”

Now, Johnson and the Tigers are one win away from punching their ticket to the SEC Tournament Championship Game with the Rebels standing in the way.
