For the first time since 2009, the LSU Tigers are set to play a weekend series against the Texas Longhorns in Austin, as the nation’s No. 2-ranked team visits UFCU Disch-Falk Field for a much-anticipated matchup.
Texas leads the all-tim series 22-12-1, but faces a major challenge a year after LSU beat the Horns badly in the first two games in Baton Rouge before David Pierce’s team avoided the sweep with a getaway day win.
There’s nothing especially extraordinary about the three Tigers pitchers set to take the mound — one is a freshman and another is a sophomore who missed last season due to injury.
