LSU will look to punch their ticket to the College World Series championship series tonight versus Arkansas. The Tigers beat the Razorbacks 4-to-1 in their first game in Omaha behind a sensational performance from starter Kade Anderson. After a rain delay interrupted Anthony Eyanson’s start against UCLA Monday night, the Tigers were forced to send out freshman and recent Sunday starter Casan Evans in relief yesterday. Righties Zac Cowan or Jaden Noot will likely take the mound for the Tigers tonight, but LRN sports director Jeff Palermo says both options struggled their last time out…
Cut 15 (14) “…to win.”
Tiger fans could hope to see Eyanson in relief tonight after throwing just 44 pitches Monday. First pitch is set for 6:00. If the Razorbacks win the Tigers will be forced into an elimination rematch tomorrow.
Cornerback Tracy Porter and Safety Brett Maxie were announced as the inductees in the Saints Hall of Fame class of 2025. Porter is a Port Allen native drafted by the Saints in 2008. He spent four seasons wearing black and gold and is responsible for perhaps the biggest play in franchise history: a 76-yard pick six to secure a Super Bowl XLIV title. Porter says being selected for the Saints Hall of Fame was a new kind of honor…
Cut 20 (16) “…on that.”
Maxie spent nine seasons in New Orleans from 1985 to 1993. An undrafted free agent out of Texas Southern, he went on to help the Saints to their first ever winning season and playoff appearance in 1987.
Also honored were former WGNO Sports Director Ed Daniels who received the Joe Gemelli “Fleur de Lis” Award and Steve Gleason with the Saints Hall of Fame Courage Award.
