Pitcher Todd Peterson is batting cleanup for LSU on Thursday night (May 25) against No. 1 Florida.
Okay, probably not.
Peterson was legitimately listed as the Tigers' cleanup hitter in Thursday's lineup, but LSU coach Paul Mainieri had a grin on his faced when asked about it during batting practice.
"There's a decent chance he gets pinch-hit for," he said. "Just having some fun."

Peterson became something of a viral celebrity Wednesday night when the full-time pitcher hit a 2-run double off the left wall in his first real at-bat in years.
