LSU Baseball vs. Ole Miss Rebels Start Time, Starting Lineup, TV Channel for Game 2

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will return to action on Saturday afternoon for a Game 2 clash against Ole Miss with the defending National Champions looking to even the series in Oxford.

After dropping Game 1 on Friday night behind a late-game rally from the Rebels, Johnson and Co. will send William Schmidt to the mound with an opportunity to tie things up at Swayze Field.

“Our team was ready, nobody was playing tight, but we have to execute the game better,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson.

“It’s frustrating, because we’re not executing the staples that have been part of our winning formula at LSU. We’re not executing like we should, so we need to keep attacking solutions.”

Now, Game 2 is inching closer with the LSU Tigers looking to make a statement against a Top-25 foe in Southeastern Conference play.
