Around this time last summer, a scrappy LSU baseball team that finished 13-17 in SEC play was two outs away from not only advancing to a Super Regional, but more than likely hosting one.
It ultimately wasn’t meant to be as LSU couldn’t finish off the Chapel Hill Regional hosting Tar Heels of North Carolina, and UNC got to stay home and host a Super Regional the following weekend. As fate would have it, the team that LSU could have hosted then is the same team that the Tigers will be hosting this weekend at Alex Box Stadium: the West Virginia Mountaineers.
