Jay Johnson and the No. 3 ranked LSU Tigers will hit the road for an in-state matchup against the Nicholls State Colonels in Ben Meyer Diamond at Ray Didier Field.

Johnson and Co. continue a scorching hot stretch this season after winning 30 of the program's first 33 games of the season.

Now, it's a matchup against a non-conference foe on the road.

“We have a lot of respect for all of the programs in Louisiana; we had seven in-state teams in the NCAA Tournament last year, and I think all of them were on our schedule. Nicholls has won their league two years in a row, and we’re going down to their place to play.

"I always like these in-state road games, and I think they’re good for our players, too. This will probably be one of the better environments we’ll play in all year. Baseball is important in Louisiana, and so I think it’s cool to have the opportunity to play a game like this every year.”

A look into the preview for Tuesday night, how to watch and the buzz on the Tigers.
