LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson has already started revamping his roster in the transfer portal this summer after a disappointing 30-and-28 season this year.

The Tigers welcomed their first two commits in Gonzaga pitcher Landon Hood and Texas State infielder Dawson Park. Hood was the freshman of the year in the West Coast Conference with 78 strikeouts in 54-and-one-third innings. Park hit 52 RBIs and 13 home runs on a .301 average.

Last season, Johnson brought in a trio of sluggers with 67 career homers among them. That group hit just 13 this year. ESPN Baton Rouge Radio’s Hunt Palmer says Johnson won’t rely on the portal for slugging again.

Cut 16 (16) “…huge power bat.”

He says this year’s portal class will try to add talent to the bullpen and versatility to the defense.

The Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament began today. West Virginia took care of business against Cal Poly with a 12-2 win to open the Morgantown Super Regional series. UNC is taking on USC in Chapel Hill, and Troy is hosting Little Rock. First pitch between Ole Miss and Auburn is set for 7:00 tonight.

Tomorrow’s games begin at 10 a.m. when Mississippi State takes on top-remaining-seed Georgia in Athens before the rematches between today’s opponents.

West Virginia will look to close out the series against Cal Poly at 11.

USC and UNC play at 1, followed by Troy and Little Rock at 2:00 and Ole Miss and Auburn at 4:00.

Kansas and Oklahoma begin the Lawrence Super Regional at 5 tomorrow evening.

At 7:00, Oregon and Texas will face off in Austin, and St. John’s and Alabama will cap off the full day of baseball at 8 p.m.

Also tonight is game two of the NBA Finals between the Spurs and Knicks. New York stole game one in San Antonio with a 105-95 win Wednesday night and has now won 12 straight games this postseason. Tip off is at 7:30.
