Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will square off against the Southeastern Louisiana Lions on Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium with the pair of in-state foes set to meet in Baton Rouge.

After another difficult weekend in SEC play, Johnson and Co. fell to the Mississippi State Bulldogs in what became the third opponent LSU has suffered a series sweep in.

“I’m proud of our team for the competitive character they displayed last weekend (at Mississippi State); there were some positives in the series that we can build from. I’m proud of their effort, but this is about playing better baseball," Johnson said.

"Their engagement and the enthusiasm in the games has been outstanding, we just need to execute better in certain situations.”

LSU will return to action on Tuesday night against Southeastern Louisiana with all eyes on the defending National Champions looking to get back on track.
