Tennessee and LSU are set to wrap up the first wave of games tonight in Omaha, getting things started in the College World Series for both sides. The winner will advance to face the winner of Wake Forest and Stanford. The loser will face elimination on Monday.
LSU will throw ace Paul Skenes (12-2, 1.77 ERA) while Tennessee turns to Andrew Lindsey (3-3, 2.79 ERA). There was some thought out there to pitching Chase Dollander tonight, but Tony Vitello is going to stick with what has worked.
“You know, we’ve just kind of gone with our routine,” Vitello said of his pitching plans.
