The 2026 LSU baseball team has made the wrong kind of history. The Tigers suffered their 18th loss in conference play yesterday, a 12-to-one thrashing by the Georgia Bulldogs, who completed a three-game sweep of the Bayou Bengals. Unless LSU can win the SEC Tournament, which is highly unlikely, LSU will miss the NCAA Baseball Tournament for the first time since 2011.
The Ragin Cajuns improved their NCAA Tournament resume by taking two of three from App State. U-L Lafayette beat the Mountaineers 12 to 3 yesterday as Owen Galt and Lee Amedee each homered. Amedee had four RBIs on the afternoon. The Cajuns RPI is up to 47 and they will host 20th ranked Coastal Carolina starting on Thursday.
The Southland Conference Tournament is set, and it will begin Thursday with bracket play. Regular season champion Southeastern Louisiana is hosting one of the brackets and the other will be played in Beaumont, Texas. Northwestern State is headed to Beaumont while Nicholls and McNeese meet Thursday in Hammond.
The Saints held a two-day rookie minicamp over the weekend headlined by Arizona State wide receiver and eight overall pick Jordyn Tyson. Tyson missed a third of the games over his college career due to MCL, collarbone and hamstring injuries, so head coach Kellen Moore is excited to get a better look at the newest black and gold playmaker.
Cut 16 (19) “…process for him.”
