Arkansas is giving the ball to Landon Beidelschies with the season on the line.
Over 90 minutes before first pitch (7 p.m. ET), Beidelschies was named Arkansas‘s starter in its rematch with LSU. For Dave Van Horn’s Razorbacks, it’s another elimination game. An LSU loss would force a game on Thursday, in which the winner advances to the College World Series Finals against Coastal Carolina. The Tigers can move on with a win on Wednesday.
