Schedule Update: LSU Baseball vs. Vanderbilt Start Time for Saturday's Game 2 Matchup – Sports Illustrated

In this story:
The LSU Tigers will return to action on Saturday night at Charlies Hawkins Field for Game 2 against the Vanderbilt Commodores after a thrilling series opening matchup on Friday.
In what became an offensive battle in Game 1 of the SEC series, Vanderbilt edged the Tigers behind a ninth-inning rally to take down LSU 13-12 to go up 1-0 in the series.
“I think you have to invest in a way that a loss like this is going to hurt really bad when something like that happens,” said Johnson. “I was proud of our team for the way we fought back in the game after falling behind, and I think we’re a much better team now than we were at the beginning of this week.
“It was a unbelievable effort tonight by our offense and our position players. We were down 10-4, and they came back to give us a two-run lead in the ninth.”
Now, Game 2 is inching closer with the LSU Tigers looking to even the series in Nashville (Tenn.) with the opportunity to make a statement and bounce back on Saturday night.
