Good morning, Tigers. LSU baseball heads to Athens for a marquee three-game set against No. 5 Georgia, which sits atop the SEC at 18-6 and leads the league in batting average (.325) and homers (131). The Tigers bring serious momentum as winners of five straight and the nation's No. 1 pitching staff in total strikeouts with 592.

Cade Arrambide has been scorching over the last 18 games, hitting .419 with 11 homers and 25 RBI, while Steven Milam carries a 27-game reached-base streak and a .989 fielding percentage. Georgia head coach Wes Johnson returns to the opposing dugout after serving as pitching coach for LSU's 2023 national championship team. First pitch tonight is 5 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.

⛳ Fresh Impact
⚾ Bigger Than Baseball
🐯 And so much more!

🎥 LSU+: THE POWERHOUSE

The Powerhouse | Homegrown | S4 E3

Louisiana natives William Schmidt, Seth Dardar, and John Pearson grew up dreaming of playing baseball at LSU. Learn more about the three "homegrown" talents, who all took different paths to Alex Box Stadium.

🔼 Fresh Impact. LSU's Dan Hayes earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team after leading all league freshmen in stroke average across 30 rounds this season. Hayes went under par in eight of 10 tournaments, highlighted by a 6-under 210 at the Puerto Rico Classic and a T11 finish at the Bryan Bros Collegiate. He heads into the NCAA Marana Regional as a key piece of an LSU lineup seeking its 17th straight postseason appearance.

🔼 Next Level. LSU women’s hoops will be represented by three former Tigers when the WNBA tips off this week: Flau'jae Johnson (Seattle Storm), Aneesah Morrow (Connecticut Sun), and Angel Reese (Atlanta Dream). Johnson begins her rookie season after being drafted eighth overall, capping a rare four-year LSU career that produced over 2,000 points and back-to-back All-SEC First Team selections. Morrow enters year two after winning the Katrina McClain Award as the nation's top power forward, bringing 104 career double-doubles, second-most in NCAA Division I history. Reese, who led LSU to the 2023 national championship alongside Johnson, joins Atlanta after two All-Star seasons in Chicago, where she set the WNBA single-season rebounding record with 448 boards as a rookie.
