LSU vs. Oregon State Reschedule Baton Rouge Regional Matchup

The LSU Tigers will take on the Oregon State Beavers at 2pm on Sunday in the Baton Rouge Regional after a weather delay forced the Saturday matchup to be postponed. 

First pitch is scheduled for 2:06pm in Alex Box Stadium. 

The Tigers were set to take on the Beavers following the Tulane-Sam Houston State matchup on Saturday, but lightning in the area in the middle of the seventh inning forced what became a four-hour weather delay in the first game of the day.

Both LSU and Oregon State secured wins in their Baton Rouge Regional openers on Friday with a highly anticipated matchup now set for Sunday afternoon. 

For the Tigers, their victory was led by Paul Skenes on the mound, who put together another masterclass showing for Jay Johnson's squad.

LSU took down Tulane 7-2 on Friday, handling business as expected, but the late game between Oregon State and Sam Houston was the headliner.

The Beavers' bats came alive early and never looked back with Oregon State toppling the Bearkats 18-2 in Alex Box Stadium.

Fast forward to Sunday and it'll be an offensive explosion between two programs that can get hot in a hurry at the plate.
