I’m Andrew Greenstein and this Louisiana Radio Network Sportscast is brought to you by the Louisiana Department of Health, when gambling is more than a game no one wins…

Former LSU left tackle Will Campbell is now a New England Patriot. The Pats select the consensus All-American with the fourth overall pick. Campbell says ever since Patriots Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf came to one of his practices, he knew he wanted to play in Foxborough.

Cut 15 (14) “…to meet everybody.”

The Saints stayed with the ninth overall pick and selected left tackle Kelvin Banks Junior. Banks says he’s looking forward to playing for another rookie – rookie head coach Kellen Moore.

Cut 17 (14)  “…team win games.”

 

The most anticipated series of the season has arrived for the LSU baseball team as the 7th ranked Tigers host the 6th ranked Tennessee Volunteers in a matchup of the last two College World Series championship teams. Coach Jay Johnson says the Vols have an extremely talented team again this year…

Cut 18 (15)  “…offense.”

Terrific pitching matchup as two left-handers expected to be selected in the first round of this Major League Baseball draft face off against each other. Kade Anderson for LSU and Liam Doyle for the Volunteers.

Big series in Ruston as well this weekend as Louisiana Tech hosts Dallas Baptist. The Patriots are tied for first place in the Conference USA standings with Western Kentucky and Tech is a half a game back. First pitch at the Love Shack is at 6 PM.
