Schedule revealed for LSU baseball's super regional series vs. West Virginia
Schedule revealed for LSU baseball's super regional series vs. West Virginia
LSU baseball is gearing up for its 17th super regional in program history after the Tigers won a decisive game 7 vs. Little Rock on Monday night to win the Baton Rouge Regional.
Little Rock gave LSU all it could handle, but LSU stormed back from a 5-1 deficit for a 10-6 win. Jared Jones put the game on ice with a two-run homer in the top of the ninth.
Now, LSU's attention shifts to West Virginia. After earning the No. 6 overall seed, LSU gets to remain in the comfort of Alex Box Stadium. LSU has good luck when the super regional is in Baton Rouge. Not so much when it goes on the road.
On Tuesday, the schedule for LSU's meeting with WVU was released. After playing a game 7 on Monday, LSU was likely glad to see the super regional won't begin until Saturday. That will allow LSU's starters to pitch with normal rest. Expect Kade Anderson to start game one after Anthony Eyanson was used out of the bullpen on Monday.
Here are the times for the Baton Rouge Super Regional
Game 1: 1:00 p.m. CT
1:00 p.m. CT Game 2: 5:00 p.m. CT
5:00 p.m. CT Game 3: TBA
For those of you who have grown tired of late-night games, you're in luck this weekend. LSU's first two games drew an earlier start, but weather could always force a change.

Patriots 1st-round pick inks deal
The Patriots have locked up first-round pick Will Campbell, who is expected to be Drake Maye's blindside protection for the foreseeable future. Campbell and the team agreed to terms on a four-year, $43.66 million full guaranteed rookie contract, with a $28.39 million signing bonus, a source confirmed. Advertisement The LSU product, taken No. 4 overall in April's draft, has been a fixture at left tackle during all of the early season camp. While it's tough to get a true gauge with the evaluation of lineman given they're not in pads during spring workouts, offensive line coach Doug Marrone gave Campbell a thumbs up based on what he's seen so far from the rookie. 'It's been good,' Marrone said. 'We're working really a ton on the details and fundamentals. Every rep — he's gotten a lot of reps — the way Coach (Mike) Vrabel has the way the practices set up, we've gotten a lot of great work against our defense. All those things are going to help him. He's progressing towards when we get to training camp. So it's been great from that standpoint.' Marrone also said Campbell's 'work' and 'dedication' have stood out to him. The 21-year-old has been present for all of the team's voluntary activities open to reporters. Advertisement Much of the pre-draft talk was about Campbell not having adequate arm length to succeed at the position. Marrone has seen nothing at this stage to suggest Campbell will have trouble. 'It's something that you look at and you look to see if it affects the way the player plays. Right now, that's not going to change,' Marrone said. 'We're just working basically fundamentally, and the details, and seeing all the different looks you can see, and he's been doing a great job of that. 'He's continuing work hard every day. He's been out here. He goes to work every day. Every day you're learning something, and you're getting better, and you're not trying to make the same mistake twice, and that's how he's gone about it. He's gone about his business very professional and that's a great start.' NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was the first to report the news of Campbell's signing. Advertisement The Patriots still have two rookies (TreVeyon Henderson, Craig Woodson) who have yet to sign their respective deals. More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.

Patriots coach excited about impressive rookie running back
FOXBOROUGH – Before the start of the second round, the Patriots front office was engaged in a debate. One argument was for Arizona guard Jonah Savaiinaea, who projected as the team's starting left guard. The other side wanted running back TreVeyon Henderson. While the two sides discussed each player, Patriots running backs coach Tony Dews waited and hoped he'd finally land the impressive prospect who once rejected him. Advertisement In 2017, Dews recruited Henderson to come to West Virginia. The 5-star recruit was the nation's top-ranked running back and ultimately committed to Ohio State. When the second round began, the Miami Dolphins traded up, one spot ahead of the Patriots, and drafted Savaiinaea. The Patriots then turned down several trade offers and selected Henderson with pick No. 38. Dews was thrilled to land the young running back. 'It's exciting,' Dews said. 'As assistant coaches, you evaluate the guys they give you to evaluate and you have an opinion on them. At the end of the day, we're going to coach whoever they put in our room but certainly, he was a guy who had done some really good things in college and he fits some of the needs that we felt like we could address with our running back situation. Advertisement 'I was very excited about it. I tried to recruit him back in high school - years ago when I was at West Virginia. He snubbed me. But it was good to be able to reconnect with him. Obviously, I'm very excited about him and what he might be able to do to help us going forward.' The Patriots have big plans for Henderson. After committing to Ohio State, he turned into one of the best running backs in college football. With game-breaking ability, Henderson averaged 6.8 yards per carry his freshman season, finishing with 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns. After dealing with some injuries (fractured left foot in 2022 and ankle/knee injury in 2023), he showed his explosiveness last season. Sharing the backfield with Quinshon Judkins, Henderson averaged 7.1 yards per carry and finished with 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns. Advertisement During the pre-draft process, Dews found himself enamored with Henderson - both as a person and as an athlete. The 22-year-old's well-roundedness impressed the Patriots running backs coach. 'First and foremost, he's a great human being, great person, great kid,' Dews said. 'Obviously, the physical attributes. He's certainly fast so he brings a speed element to our team that anytime you can get a guy as fast as he is, it's beneficial for the whole offensive unit and special teams. And then he obviously caught the ball well out of the backfield. He did a really good job I thought in pass protection. 'In the time I got to spend with him, he seemed to pick up concepts fairly quickly. With all those things, you feel like you're getting a good prospect, and we'll have to see how it materializes from there.' BETTING: The Patriots are +130 to win over 8.5 games on Fanatics.

Ethan Frey: The Pride of Rosepine shines for LSU baseball in the big moments
Ethan Frey: The Pride of Rosepine shines for LSU baseball in the big moments Rosepine, Louisiana, is a small town in Vernon Parish with a population of just under 2,000 people. It is located on the west side of Louisiana, near the Texas state line. Why am I talking about Rosephine? Because it is the home of LSU baseball player, Ethan Frey. Frey was a two-sport standout for the Rosepine High School Eagles. He starred as the quarterback on the football team and as a catcher and pitcher on the baseball diamond. Frey led the Eagles baseball team to back-to-back 2A state championships in 2021 and 2022. As a senior, he had a .487 batting average with 13 homers, 64 RBI, 39 hits, 37 walks, and only 12 strikeouts. He was the MVP in the state championship game in both seasons, and he was named Louisiana Mr. Baseball in 2022. Now, let's rewind a few years. As he entered his Sophomore year in 2019, Frey committed to play baseball for LSU. Former LSU head coach Paul Mainieri recruited him. For Frey, it was a dream come true. 'Putting that Tigers uniform is every Louisiana kid's dream,' Frey said. 'To see that Tiger on your chest, those pinstripes, and the purple and gold is unreal.' Little did Frey or anyone else know how much the world would change soon. Frey entered his sophomore season riding high after committing to LSU. Frey missed out on a full baseball season that spring as the world was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the world stood still, Frey continued to work. He remained committed to LSU and came back to help lead the Eagles to a state championship as a junior. As Frey entered his senior year, his world would change again. After the 2021 baseball season, Paul Mainieri stepped down as the head coach of the LSU. When a coaching change happens during a recruiting cycle, it is not uncommon to see some of the commitments that the prior coach had decided to commit and sign elsewhere. Frey remained loyal to LSU. The Tigers hired Jay Johnson in 2021, and during Jay's first month on the job, he was introduced to Ethan Frey and did not even know it. Frey was at Alex Box Stadium participating in an Area Code baseball tryout when Johnson spotted him. As the story goes, Johnson was impressed. He introduced himself to Frey and learned Frey was already a commit. Admittedly, Frey was suspicious of Johnson due to Johnson being a coach from the West Coast. 'West Coast coaches – most people don't love them down here, but I guess it's working for us, so I'm not going to complain. He's a great coach. I'm super thankful he's given me the opportunity," Frey said in the Tiger Rag feature. Frey stuck with his commitment and signed with the Tigers on November 27, 2021. During his Freshman season on the Bayou, Frey played in 19 games and had 19 at-bats. He finished with a .263 batting average, going 5-for-19 with a double, three walks, six strikeouts, and nine RBI. He did not get a ton of playing time, but he got to be a part of the Tigers' national championship team. During his Sophomore season, Ethan appeared in 34 games, but a dislocated shoulder that required surgery would knock him out for the remainder of the year. While all of this is going on, the transfer portal is running rampant in college sports. People were entering the portal left and right, and when you have the talent that Frey has, it could be an enticing opportunity to enter the portal and go start elsewhere. He could start anywhere else in the country. As I have said a few times in this article, though, he remained loyal to LSU. Through the highs and the lows, he stayed and competed every day. That is an admirable trait that a lot of people do not possess these days. During his entire recruiting process in high school, during a pandemic, during a coaching change, he showed up and showed out every day. LSU has had a few players recently come through with that kind of attitude. It reminds me of Cade Beloso, one of my favorite players from that 2023 national championship team. It reminds me of Josh Pearson, who has stayed at LSU and grinded it out after helping the Tigers win the ship in 2023. Some kids just love LSU. They bleed purple and gold. Frey is one of them. This season, Frey has served mainly as the designated hitter for the Tigers, and he has been a star in that role. He has appeared in 55 games and has a .359 batting average with 13 doubles, one triple, 13 homers, and 49 RBI. He has had a few great games this season, but none have been bigger than Game 7 against Little Rock in the Baton Rouge Regional. LSU needed a hero to save the day and send the Tigers to the Super Regionals, and Frey was that guy. He finished the game 4-for-4 from the plate with two doubles, a homer, and four RBI. Also, Wendy's, if you are reading this, there has to be some kind of NIL deal for a guy named "Frey (pronounced like fry)" going 4-for-4. Johnson's had plenty of praise for Frey in 2025. "Success was coming. He's the best. I have high opinions of a lot of our players, and none higher than Ethan," Johnson said. During the entire regional, Frey went 6-for-16 (.375) from the plate with three doubles, one triple, one homer, and six RBI. The Tigers would not be hosting West Virginia in the Super Regional this weekend if he had not shown up when the lights shone the brightest. Ethan Frey is a story of hard work, perseverance, and resilience. Ethan is a guy who has done things the right way. He also has a great support system. His mom and his older sister always post great things about Ethan on social media. His dad, Ross, was once honored before a baseball game last year as LSU thanked him for his military service. This weekend, Frey will be swinging away at Alex Box Stadium once again. I will be pulling for him and all of the other Tigers as I write about the game, but I just wanted to take a moment to highlight a guy who deserves the spotlight on and off the field.
