The LSU baseball team will look to carry its three-game winning streak into Knoxville this weekend as the Tigers face Tennessee. The Vols may not have Tony Vitello as their head coach anymore, but LSU coach Jay Johnson says they’re still the same dangerous team they’re used to playing.

Cut 16 (13) “…they’re plenty capable.”

Tennessee goes into this weekend as a desperate team. The Volunteers are 3-and-6 in the SEC, and they were swept by Vanderbilt last weekend. Game one is tomorrow night at 4:30.

All of the other college baseball series will get underway tonight because of the Easter holiday. ULM is in second place in the Sun Belt, and the Warhawks host last-place Georgia State. The Ragin’ Cajuns are at James Madison. La Tech is at FIU.

Cut 29 (19) “…good thing”

The Tigers practice again this morning.
