Cano, Little Rock beat No. 6 national seed LSU 10-4, force decisive game Monday in Baton Rouge
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Angel Cano hit a two-run home run in the second inning and a bases-clearing double in the third to help No. 4 seed Little Rock beat host and top-seeded LSU 10-4 on Saturday night to win avoid elimination at the Baton Rouge Regional on Sunday night. The Trojans (27-33), making their second NCAA Tournament appearance and first since 2014, can clinch a berth in the super regionals with a win Monday over No. 6 national seed LSU. LSU beat Little Rock 7-0 on Friday and followed Saturday with a 12-0 win over Dallas Baptist to advance to the championship round. The Trojans, who lost 13 of 14 to close the regular season before winning five straight to win the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, exploded for 22 runs Saturday in a win over Rhode Island and beat Dallas Baptist 8-6 in an elimination game earlier Sunday. Steven Milam hit a two-RBI single to cap LSU's three run first inning but Angel Cano hit a two-run home run in the second for the Trojans. Ryan Geck grounded out to lead off the third before Ty Rhoades, Cade Martin and Cooper Chaplain drew consecutive walks to load the bases. Cano fouled off three consecutive two-strike pitches before he hit a bases-clearing double off Chase Shores (5-3), who was immediately replaced by Cooper Williams after allowing four runs in an inning of relief. Starter Noah Burkey gave up three runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings before he was replaced by Brenden Katz (1-0), who pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Malcolm Brown threw 5 1/3 innings and gave up a run on three hits to earn his first save of the season. ___ AP sports:

Two LSU relief pitchers named to midseason award watch list
Two LSU relief pitchers named to midseason award watch list LSU Baseball relief pitchers Zac Cowan and Casan Evans were named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association's Stopper of the Year midseason watchlist. The pair of right-handers, who are tied for the team lead with six saves apiece, developed into two of the toughest hurlers in late game situations. Evans recently earned a win in his first-career start after strong relief showings while Cowan has the most innings pitched among full time relief hurlers on the team. Evans and Cowan lead the team in ERA among eligible pitchers at 1.09 and 1.13, respectively, as well as WHIP. Cowan, with a 0.82 WHIP, has 49 strikeouts to seven walks through 40 innings. Evans, who has a 1.00 WHIP, hasn't allowed a home run through 118 batters faced and allowed just four earned runs over 33 innings. A true freshman, Evans may be head coach Jay Johnson's answer for the third weekend starter. In Sunday's series finale against Tennessee, he hurled five scoreless frames after allowing two runs in the first inning. Cowan didn't allow a run through 2.2 innings against the Volunteers in relief appearances on Friday and Sunday.

LSU baseball coach announces changes on the infield
As we approach opening day for LSU Baseball, Tigers' head coach Jay Johnson has provided some clarity on who will start on the left side of the infield. Johnson appeared on the 'BATTER UP' show with Mike Scarborough and Kendall Rogers to discuss the 2025 season, and he revealed who would start at shortstop and third base. The new starter at shortstop this season will be Steven Milam. Milam made the move after playing second base last season. The Sophomore from Las Cruces, New Mexico was a breakout star as a freshman for the Tigers as he played in 63 games and finished with a .326 batting average and 12 doubles, three triples, eight homers, and 40 RBI. With Milam taking over at shortstop, what does that mean for last season's shortstop, Michael Braswell III? As for Braswell, he will be transitioning to the hot corner for the 2025 season. The Senior from Mableton, Georgia, had the best season of his career during his 2024 campaign. He started at shortstop in 64 games and finished the season with a career-high .311 batting average as he hit 12 doubles, three triples, four homers, and 36 RBI. That settles who will be on the left side of the infield to start the 2025 season. LSU baseball will start its 2025 campaign on Friday, hosting Purdue Fort Wayne. LSU has high hopes as Johnson looks to win his second College World Series title at LSU. This article originally appeared on LSU Wire: LSU baseball coach reveals change at shortstop and third base
