Forecast Fumbles LSU’s Saturday Start Time
LSU’s Game 2 showdown with Sacramento State was bumped from a 6 p.m. CT first pitch to 2:12 p.m. CT due to looming thunderstorms. After Friday’s 15–4 pounding of the Hornets, the Tigers will lean on ace Casan Evans—fresh off 5.2 near-perfect innings with nine strikeouts—to clinch the weekend series at Alex Box Stadium. Coverage shifts too: fans can now tune in via the LSU Sports Radio Network or stream on SEC Network + earlier in the day.
The only thing wetter than Baton Rouge’s forecast is our coach’s sweat reading the weather app. Sure, Mother Nature called an audible to avoid soggy uniforms, but it’s also a sneaky plot twist to test LSU’s players’ habit of showing up fashionably late. You can see Coach Jay Johnson dialing up psychic powers to predict lightning, while poor Casan Evans gears up for what feels like an early morning tee time. At least the Hornets get the memo—no afternoon naps when facing a potential nine-strikeout symphony before lunch.
Notre Dame Sneaks into EDGE Rusher Race
Zyron Forstall, the nation’s No. 2 EDGE in the 2027 class, has accepted an official visit to Notre Dame. The IMG Academy star boasts offers from LSU, USC, Alabama and more, but the Fighting Irish now loom large in his recruitment. Standing 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, Forstall piled up nearly 30 tackles for loss and double-digit sacks as a sophomore. ND’s blend of storied academics and back-to-back winning seasons has captured his attention—leaving LSU scrambling to keep its hometown hero in Bayou Country.
Well, well, looks like the Irish have crash-landed into our recruiting party with all the subtlety of a bagpiper in a library. While LSU’s scrambling, someone probably forgot to bribe Forstall with jambalaya or swamp tours. Meanwhile, Notre Dame is serving up holy water and varsity jackets—an irresistible combo for any edge rusher tired of bayou humidity. If this turns into a bidding war, we expect LSU to counteroffer with free gumbo recipes and a lifetime supply of mosquito repellent. Nothing says loyalty like bug spray.
Lineup Unleashed: Six Homers and a Historic Nights
Jake Brown exploded for three homers and six RBI in LSU’s 15–4 rout of Sacramento State, tying the single-game record for long balls. The Tigers belted six homers total—first time since March 2025—including blasts from Derek Curiel, Steven Milam and Cade Arrambide. Brown’s 4-for-5 night, combined with LSU’s .431 batting average so far, highlights why the defending champs carry top national rankings into Game 2 at Alex Box Stadium.
If Jake Brown keeps swinging like Thor on a home-run hunt, Hornets may start petitioning for beekeeper suits. Six homers in one night? That’s less baseball, more fireworks show—with each swing audible from campus dorms. Coach Johnson probably had to dust off his shades just to watch the scoreboard glow. Meanwhile, the opposing pitchers can only pray for a mercy rule or that Brown trades bats for a quieter hobby—like knitting or interpretive dance. But hey, who wouldn’t pay to see a six-homer frenzy in the land of boudin?
