LSU and Louisiana-Lafayette will meet in the 15th annual Wally Pontiff Jr. Classic on Tuesday night at the Shrine on Airline.
It's the fifth time the schools have met in the Classic which is to raise money for the Wally Pontiff Jr. Foundation. Pontiff played for LSU from 2000-2002 and was the designated hitter on the 2000 championship team.
Pontiff, who prepped at Jesuit, passed away at his parents' home in Metairie in July 2002 just a month after he was picked in the MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics.
Every year since 2004, the Tigers have hosted the Wally Pontiff Jr.
