The LSU Tigers will square off against the West Virginia Mountaineers on Sunday in Game 2 of the Baton Rouge Super Regional at Alex Box Stadium.

After taking down the Mountaineers on Saturday in Game 1, Johnson and Co. are one win away from punching their ticket to the College World Series in Omaha.

LSU ace Kade Anderson pieced together a brilliant outing on Saturday in sweltering weather elements to lead the Tigers to the series opening win.

“A great win for our team [on Saturday] against a really good team, really good pitcher,” said Johnson. “Tough conditions; it was very hot today. But our guys came ready to play, and it was a good performance."

Now, with a 1-0 series lead, LSU will look to capture a victory on Sunday and book their flights to Omaha for the College World Series.

LSU's Sunday clash against West Virginia is currently in a delay with inclement weather expected to be in the area.

Site officials have delayed the start time three hours as the weather rolls through Baton Rouge.
