No. 4 LSU returns to Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field on Tuesday night for a midweek clash against the Northwestern State Demons in Baton Rouge.

First pitch is set for 7:02 p.m. CT.

Jay Johnson and Co. will be looking to carry the program's momentum from last weekend's SEC series win over the Alabama Crimson Tide following an impressive three-game stretch.

“We worked really hard last week, outside of just playing the games, we worked really hard, so the team needed the day off (Sunday). The work was very intentional and placed a little more volume on the players. So, the day off gave us some time to re-set and get back to work," Johnson said.

"You can’t get through the schedule that we play without a few bumps in the road offensively; the pitching talent is too good. I thought we had a good week last week, three good wins, including one in comeback fashion and another in close-game fashion.

"Those are important with what’s ahead of us, that the team can know it can succeed in close games.”

Now, all attention has turned towards the program's midweek matchup against the Demons in Baton Rouge.
