College World Series Schedule: Complete Saturday slate as LSU takes the field
LSU baseball begins play in Omaha for the 2025 College World Series on Saturday. Inside Charles Schwab Stadium, the Tigers face a familiar opponent from their SEC schedule.
LSU and Arkansas, the betting favorites to win the national championship, close out the first round of games on Saturday following two on Friday. UCLA and Murray State open the second day with an afternoon first pitch. The winners and losers of those matchups will face off early next week.
The Tigers took the regular season series against Arkansas at Alex Box Stadium in late May but the Razorbacks are loaded with MLB talent. The game will certainly resemble a championship atmosphere with fans of both teams expected in droves.
The Bruins made it to the Big Ten championship and have yet to lose a game in the NCAA Tournament. They play the Cinderella team in Murray State. After winning the Missouri Valley Conference, the Racers went 3-1 in the Oxford Regional then defeated Duke twice in the super regional.
Here is the Saturday schedule for the College World Series.

Time: 1 p.m. CT

Michigan Lands Commitment From Top RB Prospect Savion Hiter
College Football Michigan Lands Commitment From Top RB Prospect Savion Hiter Published Aug. 19, 2025 4:01 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The Michigan Wolverines are already having a better week than their last one, as they secured a 2026 commitment from five-star running back prospect Savion Hiter. Hiter announced his commitment to Michigan at his high school, Louisa County High in Virginia. He chose the Wolverines over Tennessee, Georgia and Michigan's chief rival, Ohio State. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore and running backs coach Tony Alford – who was previously Ohio State's running back coach from 2015-23 – were "instrumental" in getting Hiter to commit to Michigan instead of Tennessee, according to ESPN. The 5-foot-11 back weighs in at 200 pounds and is the No. 1 running back prospect in the country, as well as the top player in Virginia, according to 247Sports. Hiter is viewed as a potential NFL player who thrives while running inside or outside, per 247Sports. As he heads into his senior season at Louisa County High School, Hiter has already proven to be a force in the backfield. He rushed for 1,698 yards and 26 rushing touchdowns on 156 carries in the 2024 season with another 199 receiving yards on top of that, following a transfer from Woodberry Forest High School, where he played in 2023. Moreover, Hiter is a two-way player who totaled 56 tackles, seven sacks, an interception and three defensive touchdowns in 2024. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

How did LSU football star LBs Harold Perkins Jr., Whit Weeks look during first practice?
BATON ROUGE — What does it mean for LSU football's defense to have a healthy Harold Perkins Jr. and Whit Weeks back in the fold? The linebacker duo took the field for the Tigers' first preseason practice Wednesday morning, the first time the two have practiced alongside one another in nearly a year. "Presence," LSU coach Brian Kelly said following LSU's practice about having Weeks and Perkins back. "We all appreciate that it's Day 1 and we're trying to get our feet in the ground and play football, but presence is impactful. LSU FOOTBALL LINEBACKER PRESEASON PREVIEW "We see them, you feel them, you hear them." In September, Perkins went down against UCLA in LSU's fourth game last season with an ACL tear and missed the remainder of the 2024 campaign. His injury forced Weeks into more of a prominent role within the Tigers' defense and he flourished, leading the team in tackles and clearing the next defender by nearly 40 stops. In the Texas Bowl in December, Weeks suffered a dislocated ankle, which needed surgery to repair. Both Perkins and Weeks missed spring practice and some more time this offseason going through rehab, but they have arrived at preseason practice fully healthy. The tandem were both named to the Dick Butkus Award preseason watch list Wednesday, an award that goes to college football's top linebacker. "When somebody is not around in a room, you can kind of feel the temperature change a little bit. The temperature is a little bit different when those two guys are in the room," Kelly said. "It's hard to replace great players but it's even harder to replace great leaders and those guys lead by example and make a huge difference."

Why Garrett Nussmeier, Whit Weeks sat out, were limited during LSU football practice
BATON ROUGE — LSU football has reached the point in preseason practice where bumps and bruises are going to flare up. But there's also some load management that's needed. Junior linebacker Whit Weeks did not participate in the Tigers' 14th practice Friday morning. Senior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was limited in drills and overall work, as well. Media members were able to view LSU's entire session and Weeks spent a large portion of practice off to the side on the exercise bike. LSU football coach Brian Kelly said that players like Weeks and Nussmeier were on "off days" as the staff is managing their workload this preseason. LSU FOOTBALL PRACTICE OVERREACTIONS "Whit Weeks, we're not going to have him practice five days in a row until we get into game week," LSU head football coach Brian Kelly said. "He'll be back out there tomorrow, he'll scrimmage tomorrow. "With Nuss, it's more about managing his throws. He made a number of throws where we give him some time to back off. He'll be back out tomorrow, full go, scrimmaging. Again, it's just maintenance on some of these guys." Nussmeier re-aggravated a pre-existing condition with patellar tendonitis in his left knee last week from a procedure he had done back in 2023. Weeks is coming off a dislocated ankle injury in the Texas Bowl last December. He missed all of spring drills while and going through rehab and was fully cleared by the start of the Tigers' summer conditioning program at the beginning of June. Friday was Weeks' first missed practice of the fall. Early in the preseason, he was limited the first few days as the staff was just being cautious with him. Wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. and safety Jardin Gilbert missed practice due to graduation. Cory Diaz covers the LSU Tigers for The Daily Advertiser as part of the USA TODAY Network.
