LSU Baseball vs. Dartmouth Big Green Starting Lineup, Start Time and TV Channel

Jay Johnson and the defending National Champion LSU Tigers will look to get back in the win column on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field with a matchup against Dartmouth locked in.

After dropped a non-conference clash to in-state foe McNeese on Tuesday, Johnson and Co. are eyeing a bounce back win this weekend with Casan Evans set to take the mound in Baton Rouge.

“This season is a 56-game playoff, and every game is really important. Every one that we win is of great value, and we take it to heart when we’re not successful," Johnson said on Tuesday.

"We get everybody’s best shot when we play, and we made some mistakes (in Tuesday’s loss to McNeese) that we can learn from. We can use a lot from Tuesday’s game that can help to catapult us forward, and there’s much we can gain from that game.”
