LSU will host Kentucky Wildcats in Baton Rouge Super Regional
After clinching a trip to the super regional on Monday afternoon, LSU turned its eyes to Lexington where Kentucky and Indiana battled with a trip to Baton Rouge on the line.
Kentucky prevailed, 4-2, and sent the Hoosiers home. Unlike LSU, Kentucky dropped a game in its regional final to Indiana before winning Game 7.
The Wildcat lineup enters Baton Rouge on a hot streak. UK averaged 10 runs per game in its regional, highlighted by a 16-4 win over Indiana on Sunday.
It’ll be the second time LSU has faced Kentucky this year. The Tigers took two of three from Kentucky the first meeting in mid-April.
This will be the 16th super regional in LSU’s history and the first since 2021.
It’s the first time Alex Box Stadium is hosting a super regional since 2019 when LSU was swept by Florida State. LSU’s last super regional win came in 2017 when the Tigers downed Mississippi State to advance to the College World Series.
That will again be the expectation this year as LSU prepares for another postseason conference battle.
