Schedule Update: LSU Baseball vs. Oklahoma Sooners Start Time in Game 2 of SEC Series

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will return to action on Friday night for Game 2 against the Oklahoma Sooners after capturing a victory over the SEC foe on Thursday at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.

Casan Evans (2-0) limited Oklahoma to one unearned run on three hits in 7.2 innings with one walk and 15 strikeouts.

The 15 strikeouts represented the most by an LSU pitcher in an SEC regular-season game since May 5, 2023, when Paul Skenes recorded 15 strikeouts at Auburn.

Evans’ outing marked the longest of his career, and he threw 110 pitches, 76 for strikes.

“Casan is a tremendous pitcher and a tremendous competitor,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “I don’t think we’ve lost too many games when he’s taken the mound for us. He’s an absolute winner, one of the best pitchers in the country, and what’s awesome is the best is yet to come for him.”

Now, with a 1-0 lead in the series, LSU will send Cooper Moore to the mound on Friday night with an opportunity to capture the program's first Southeastern Conference series win of the season.

No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners (17-5, 2-2 SEC) at No. 20 LSU Fighting Tigers (16-7, 2-2 SEC)
