Baton Rouge Regional: Complete schedule for Friday
Baton Rouge Regional: Complete schedule for Friday
Day one of the NCAA Baseball Tournament is here. In just a few hours, the Baton Rouge Regional will get underway.
LSU is the regional host as the No. 6 seed in the tournament. This position is familiar for LSU as it marks the Tigers' 28th time hosting an NCAA Regional. Dallas Baptist, Rhode Island, and Little Rock are joining LSU in Baton Rouge. That's a favorable draw for LSU, considering Little Rock has the lowest RPI in the entire field, and Rhode Island owns the lowest RPI among all the No. 3 seeds.
Jay Johnson and crew will look to take advantage and cruise to a Super Regional appearance.
LSU didn't make it out of the regional last year, falling to UNC. In 2023, LSU won it all behind big postseason performances from Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews, and Tre Morgan. This LSU team doesn't quite have the same star power, but Johnson has the pieces to go all the way.
Here's the complete day one schedule for the Baton Rouge Regional.
Game One: LSU vs. Little Rock
Time: 2:30 PM CT
LSU vs. Little Rock will be broadcast on the SEC Network at 2:30 PM CT. Fans can also stream the game on ESPN+.
LSU hasn't announced a starter yet, but LSU's big advantage this weekend is pitching. The Tigers' 3.52 ERA ranks No. 7 in the country. Meanwhile, Little Rock owns a staff ERA of 6.33, sitting 170th nationally.
Game Two: Dallas Baptist vs. Rhode Island
Time: 6:30 PM CT
Assuming LSU's game ends at a reasonable time, Dallas Baptist and Rhode Island will take the field at 6:30 PM CT. This game will be streaming only on ESPN+.
There's a chance for some offense in this one. Both DBU and URI boast OPS numbers that rank among the best in the country.

What LSU pitcher Anthony Eyanson said after dominant outing in regional vs. Little Rock
What LSU pitcher Anthony Eyanson said after dominant outing in regional vs. Little Rock LSU baseball gave the ball to starter Anthony Eyanson in game one of the Baton Rouge Regional. The choice paid off with Eyanson pitching 7.2 shutout innings in a 7-0 win vs. Little Rock. Eyanson struck out seven and walked just one. In 92 innings this year, Eyanson owns a 2.54 ERA to go along with 132 strikeouts. Both of those are among the best marks in the country. "Just wanted to execute," Eyanson said after the start, "I'm going to say that probably every interview, but honestly, just wanted to execute, slow down in the moment. Just take it all in." LSU head coach Jay Johnson didn't reveal the Tigers' pitching plans until the lineup was released on Friday. Eyanson and LSU's No. 1 starter, Kade Anderson, both put up ace numbers in the regular season. It was hard for Johnson to go wrong. For Eyanson, the recipe has been simple. "First pitch strike and being early and ahead in the count, it's always going to help, you know, me on the field. The defense behind me, they've been great. I think they deserve even more credit than they get," Eyanson said. Eyanson's outing was ground out heavy, but the veteran pitcher was just focused on executing. "I mean, they hit the ball on the ground, hit the ball in the air, as long as they're out, I'm fine with that," Eyanson said. Eyanson didn't finish the game, getting pulled in the eigth, but he wasn't worried when the bullpen took over. "It's really cool seeing those guys progress, especially (Mavrick Rizy). He's insane, but it's really cool seeing him grow and just keep working. I see his work every day, just being at the field around him all the time and just giving the ball to him and DJ," Eyanson said. LSU will return to action on Saturday night, facing Dallas Baptist in the Baton Rouge Regional.
