After eliminating Tennessee last night, The LSU Tigers get another shot at Wake Forest tonight and will need to beat the Demon Deacons twice to advance to the championship round of the College World Series.

Cut 13 (15) “…be successful”
Blake Money or Javen Coleman are possible starters for LSU tonight. Wake Forest may counter with Seth Keener, who is 8-1 with a 2.18 ERA.
