Starting Lineups: LSU Baseball vs. Arkansas Razorbacks in the College World Series

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks at Charles Schwab Field on Wednesday night in a critical College World Series rematch.

After starting their time in Omaha with a 2-0 record, the Tigers are now one win away from punching a ticket to the 2025 National Championship series.

It's been a collective effort from the Bayou Bengals with contributions coming from a myriad of players during their time in the College World Series.

“I’m really proud of our players – the mindset piece, the disruption of the game last night because of weather,” Johnson said. “I thought the response in the first inning, after giving up three runs, to come back and score four was very much in character for our team.

“And that’s what this tournament is at times. Had delays here, night games that ended up being day games the next day. I’m just really proud the way the team handled all that.”

Now, the stage is set for Wednesday night at Charles Schwab Field with the Tigers taking on a fiery Arkansas Razorbacks squad.
