The coaches

It will be the first meeting between the two programs sinceMainieri took over at LSU in 2007.

The game

In college baseball LSU and Baylor will take the field today in what is shaping up to be an exciting game. These two teams come into the matchup with very different records; LSU is 27-3 on the season, while Baylor is 15-15. However, what this game lacks in record comparison it makes up for in potential excitement. Here are a few things to watch for during the game.

Pitching will be a big factor in this game, as both teams have strong starting pitchers taking the mound. For LSU, senior right-hander Zack Hess will be looking to build on his outstanding season so far; he comes into the game with a 9-1 record and a 2.22 ERA. Hess has been especially dominant lately, allowing just two earned runs in his last 27 innings pitched Baylor will counter with junior left-hander Josh Shannon, who has a 3-4 record and a 3.38 ERA on the season. Shannon has been pitching well of late as well, giving up just three earned runs in his last 19 innings pitched.

Another key matchup to watch will be between the two team’s offenses. LSU has one of the best offenses in college baseball averaging 8.0 runs per game while Baylor is averaging just 4.5 runs per game. The Tigers have been especially dangerous lately, scoring 10 or more runs in four of their last six games. Baylor will need to find a way to score some runs off Hess if they want to win this game.

This should be a great matchup between two evenly matched teams. Be sure to tune in today to see who comes out on top!
