LSU Baseball vs. Creighton Blue Jays Starting Lineup, Start Time and TV Channel

The LSU Tigers will return to Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field on Tuesday night for a matchup against the Creighton Blue Jays with an opportunity to get back in the win column.

After wrapping up a five-game stretch last week, LSU dropped four contests, including losses to Northeastern, UL-Lafayette, and Sacramento State in what became a week to forget in Baton Rouge.

“We have to focus on the play and focus on helping the players as best we can,” Johnson said. “There are some guys that need our help, and we have to do the best job coaching that we possibly can.”

Now, LSU will have an opportunity to bounce back and get a win under their belts with the Creighton Blue Jays heading to Baton Rouge on Tuesday.

QUOTING COACH JAY JOHNSON
“We’re going to get everybody’s best shot, being LSU and being the defending national champions, but we have to respond to that. The only way to respond well is to play great baseball, and we did not do that last week. Up until last week, I felt like we handled it and managed it pretty well; we did not last week, and there’s a lot of improvement that needs to be made, and that’s all we can do, go back to work.”
