How to watch LSU baseball vs Auburn today: Time, TV channel for Saturday
LSU baseball looks to respond on Saturday after dropping game one at Auburn on Friday. Auburn ended the Tigers' nine-game win streak with an 8-4 victory.
Former LSU pitcher Sam Dutton threw six shutout innings for Auburn. LSU only tallied three extra-base hits, and two didn't come until LSU made a last-ditch effort in the ninth inning. Derek Curiel, Jared Jones, and Daniel Dickinson combined for five strikeouts at the top of LSU's lineup. Ethan Frey and Steven Milam were both hitless.
LSU starter Kade Anderson allowed five earned runs, but the outing was better than his final line suggests. Luck and timely hitting got the job done for Auburn. That's all you need in baseball.
On Saturday, LSU gives the ball to Anthony Eyanson. LSU needs back-to-back wins to salvage a series win. LSU is looking to avoid dropping its second SEC road series of the year after LSU fell to Texas last month.
LSU has the starting pitching advantage in this one, and the bullpen is fresh.

LSU baseball vs Auburn predictions and picks for Saturday
LSU 7, Auburn 5: It's tough to win on the road in the SEC -- that was evident on Friday night. But I think LSU will bounce back on Saturday. Eyanson won't be perfect, but he'll give the Tigers enough. Zac Cowan or Casan Evans will seal the deal with a multi-inning outing late in the contest. At the plate, the LSU lineup can't be kept quiet for long.

Auburn baseball vs. Coastal Carolina: Prediction, odds for game one
Auburn baseball vs. Coastal Carolina: Prediction, odds for game one Here are the latest odds for Auburn's Super Regional opener vs. Coastal Carolina. Friday night will be historical for the Auburn Tigers baseball program, as it will host its first-ever NCAA Super Regional at Plainsman Park. The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are next on the docket, a team enters the series on an impressive 21-game winning streak which includes two wins over ECU and a victory over Fairfield in last weekend's Conway Regional. This year's super regional between Auburn and Coastal Carolina will feature strong pitching and even tougher outs at the plate. The Tigers boast six players with .300 batting averages or greater while Coastal has five. Each team has two hitters with 50 or more RBI while Auburn holds the edge in batters with 10-plus home runs, 3-2. Pitching wise, Sam Dutton will toe the rubber for Auburn in game one while Cameron Flukey gets the nod for the Chants. Both pitchers have ERA's lower than 3.90 and have struck out over 90 batters, which will challenge the bats of both teams. Who sets the tone by claiming game one of the Auburn Super Regional? Here is a look at the latest odds from FanDuel ahead of first pitch. Auburn vs. Coastal Carolina betting odds TEAM SPREAD MONEY LINE OVER/UNDER Auburn Tigers -1.5 -160 O 10.5 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers +1.5 +124 U 10.5 Auburn's stat leaders Average: Ike Irish (.362) Ike Irish (.362) Runs scored: Ike Irish (63) Ike Irish (63) Doubles: Cooper McMurray (18) Cooper McMurray (18) Home runs: Ike Irish (18) Ike Irish (18) RBI: Cooper McMurray (58) Cooper McMurray (58) Stolen Bases: Bristol Carter (14) Coastal Carolina's stat leaders Average: Caden Bodine (.329) Caden Bodine (.329) Runs scored: Sebastian Alexander (54) Sebastian Alexander (54) Doubles: Caden Bodine (18) Caden Bodine (18) Home runs: Blake Barthol (12) Blake Barthol (12) RBI: Sebastian Alexander (53) Sebastian Alexander (53) Stolen Bases: Sebastian Alexander (27) How to watch/listen to Auburn vs. Coastal Carolina Date: Friday, June 6 Friday, June 6 First pitch: 8 p.m. CT 8 p.m. CT Channel: ESPN2 ESPN2 Live stream: Fubo (free trial) Fubo (free trial) Radio: 94.3 FM in Auburn/Auburn Sports Network Best bet, prediction Auburn will look to set the tone by chasing Coastal Carolina starter Cameron Flukey early, but it will not be easy. Auburn will need to receive similar production from Ike Irish, Chris Rembert, Bub Terrell, Eric Snow, and Cooper McMurray as it did in the Auburn Regional last weekend to achieve that goal. Auburn gets the edge here because with those bats, and a strong relief effort by Carson Myers following Sam Dutton's outing, the Tigers should win a tight one in front of a record crowd.

Ranking LSU's top five super regional moments in Alex Box Stadium history
Ranking LSU's top five super regional moments in Alex Box Stadium history Postseason baseball at Alex Box Stadium is special. College baseball doesn't garner the same attention as college football and college basketball, but Baton Rouge is different. It has no equal. Alex Box Stadium holds 10,326, but you would think it's a lot more if you've ever watched a super regional in Baton Rouge. The place comes alive, and it's not all that different from Tiger Stadium across the street, despite a capacity that's just 10% of what the football stands hold. LSU has hosted 12 Super Regionals at The Box. The Tigers are 9-3 in those series and 19-9 in super regional games at home. Now, it's West Virginia's turn to witness the power of the postseason at The Box. The Mountaineers roll in for the Baton Rouge Regional set to begin on Saturday. LSU didn't make a super regional in 2024 after falling in the Chapel Hill Regional. The last time LSU was in this spot was 2023, when the eventual national champs swept Kentucky in two games. Super regional baseball at Alex Box will be a welcome site for LSU fans. Here are the top five super regional moments in Alex Box history. June 6, 2003: Back-to-back homers vs. Baylor force Game 3 On the brink of elimination, LSU used back-to-back home runs to lead off the eighth inning and force a game three. Clay Harris hit the first homer against pitcher Abe Woody to right-center. After the Bears made a change on the mound, Ivan Naccarata hit a solo blast to put the Tigers up 6-5. that score set up a rubber match. LSU took the series with a 20-run showing the next day. June 6, 2015: Walk-off homer vs UL-Lafayette In the latest installment of an in-state rivalry, LSU and UL-Lafayette met in Baton Rouge for a super regional match. The two sides came down to the wire in the series opener, winning 4-3 on a walk-off home run from designated hitter Chris Sciambra. The Tigers advanced to Omaha with a win the following day. The rare matchup of in-state teams well into the postseason provided an extra sense of excitement inside Alex Box Stadium. June 8, 2008: Ninth inning rally keeps LSU alive vs. UC Irvine After dropping Game 1, LSU was facing elimination in Game 2 of the super regional vs. UC Irvine. LSU trailed 7-4 entering the top of the ninth. The Tigers' season was on the brink. With the bases loaded, Jared Mitchell drew a walk to make it 7-5. Then Nicholas Pontiff drove in another run on a fielder's choice. Blake Dean singled to right field to score Mitchell, and suddenly it was tied. Catcher Sean Ochinko kept the rally going with a single to left, driving in the go-ahead run. The next day, LSU punched its ticket to Omaha. June 10, 2017: Big inning late leads LSU past Mississippi State In the opening game of the super regional against Mississippi State, LSU found itself in a hole. Trailing 3-0 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, the Tigers scored four unanswered runs in their half of the frame to cement a 4-3 win. Greg Deichmann, Zach Watson and Michael Papierski recorded the RBIs. LSU pitcher Alex Lange put together a standout game, finishing with 10 strikeouts through 7.2 innings. The contest was one for the ages in eyes of then-LSU head coach Paul Mainieri. "Well, that's a game that we'll never forget in these parts," Mainieri said. "I'll be talking about this game 10 years from now." June 7, 2013: Aaron Nola dominates In what would be a two-game series win against Oklahoma, starting pitcher Aaron Nola hurled a gem. The right-handed pitcher threw a complete game shutout at home in game one, his fifth of the season. Nola allowed just two hits and didn't surrender a walk while adding six strikeouts. LSU needed the effort in its quest for a College World Series berth as it won 2-0 over the Sooners.

Ex-Auburn tight end Sal Cannella earns postseason nod from UFL
Ex-Auburn tight end Sal Cannella earns postseason nod from UFL Cannella had a great season in Arlington, which led him to receive an all-league honor. Earlier this week the United Football League announced their All-UFL Team that featured a former Auburn Tiger. Arlington Renegades tight end Sal Cannella was named to the team after the productive season. The team was selected by executives, coaches, and broadcasters. It is the second time he has been awarded an honor like this one. In 2022, he was named to the All-USFL Team when he played for the New Orleans Breakers. Cannella finished sixth in the UFL with 474 yards and one touchdown. He was also second in the league with 44 receptions. The Renegades ended their season on Sunday with a 23-6 win over the San Antonio Brahmas. They ended the season with a 5-5 record and missed the playoffs. Canella had five receptions for 86 yards in the finale. Cannella played for the Auburn Tigers from 2017 to 2019 after transferring from Scottsdale Community College. During his time at Auburn, he caught 25 passes for 330 yards and five touchdowns. He was impressive when he had the ball. His head coach was Gus Malzahn, who was not known to feature tight ends often in the passing game. He scored a touchdown for Auburn in the 2019 Iron Bowl. That was a game the Tigers won 48-45. After leaving the Tigers, Cannella bounced around leagues and teams. He has spent time on the practice squads or off-season rosters for the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has played for Arlington since the 2023 XFL season before the merger with the USFL. The Renegades won the XFL Championship in 2023. He led the UFL in receiving touchdowns in 2024 with six.
