The LSU Fighting Tigers baseball team is headed for Omaha and the College World Series for the second consecutive season.

Last year, the Tigers were joined by Georgia but this year Ole Miss and Arkansas will also play in Omaha.

In the first round of last year’s competition, LSU lost to North Carolina and then beat Rice in a bottom of the ninth comeback in which Blake Dean hit a ball off of the wall to score three runs and secure the loser’s bracket win for the Tigers.

The Tigers then lost once again to North Carolina.

This season, the Tigers haven’t lost a game since suffering a 4-1 loss inflicted by Vanderbilt in the first round of the SEC tournament, the Tigers then beat Vandy after advancing through the loser’s bracket to the SEC tournament championship game.

To advance to the CWS, the Tigers beat Rice for the first time ever in the Super Regionals in Baton Rouge taking the first two games of the best of three series.

The Tigers will play against Virginia on Saturday at 6 PM at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha.
