Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will square off against the No. 1 ranked Arkansas Razorbacks on Sunday in Baton Rouge to wrap up the thrilling SEC series.

After capturing back-to-back wins on Friday and Saturday, LSU is clicking on all cylinders with the program looking to complete the sweep in Game 3.

Junior right-hander Anthony Eyanson (8-2) worked 6.0 shutout innings for the Tigers on Saturday, allowing just five hits with one walk and 11 strikeouts.

“A couple of things stand out to me about Anthony,” Johnson said. “He is an intense competitor, so there’s always a way out with him no matter how tough the predicament.

"He’s also executing all of his pitches all of the time now, so it’s really hard to feel convicted in the batter’s box against him.”

Now, all attention shifts to Sunday afternoon with the Tigers looking to make a statement and sweep the No. 1 ranked Razorbacks.
