What else is Brewin’ today?
🏆 Tigers top-20 Directors’ Cup finish
⚾️ All-Americans on the mound
🐯 And much, much more!
The Powerhouse. The 2024 LSU baseball season came to a close in the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional, but the Tigers’ special run to earn their postseason bid was possible due to their undying fight displayed down the stretch. Despite the tough road put in front of them, Coach Jay Johnson’s staff and players made it to the regional championship against North Carolina. Johnson - with Omaha set in his sights for the 2025 season already - prepares to forge another CWS-caliber roster.
