It’s been a rocky few games for LSU baseball, but as the Tigers opened their final non-conference series against Sacramento State, they were looking to redeem themselves and prove that, after 15 games, this lineup has finally come alive. And alive it was. From the bottom of the first inning, the starting lineup—resembling last year’s powerful squad—was sending balls soaring into the outfield like never before this season. After waiting patiently for their star power to emerge

Minneapolis, MN—Both Northwestern and South Dakota State approached the Cambria Classic, and their opening round matchup against each other, under similar circumstances. With four wins on the young season, the Jackrabbits prepared for their second straight game against Big Ten competition. 5-5 Northwestern aimed to move on from their forgettable weekend against mighty Georgia Tech, a series in which the Wildcats were swept. South Dakota State didn’t travel to Minnesota alone;

The Cambria Classic is set to return to US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN this weekend. The home of the Minnesota Vikings has played host to University of Minnesota baseball for a handful of seasons as the club mitigates freezing northern temperatures in the early months of each season. The Cambria Classic presents with an unclear history, at times taking years off due to the challenge of competing in an NFL-owned stadium. The Cambria name first became attached to the event

As LSU looked to redeem a loss against Northeastern on Monday night, with a fresh lineup and redshirt junior Gavin Guidry taking the bump, the challenge wasn’t going to be a simple one. A Wednesday night road game against long-standing rival Louisiana never is. The start of the game began looking like a repeat of Monday’s falter against Northeastern, with the Cajuns plating three in only the first inning and LSU scoreless, trying to manufacture swings yet again and reaching o

As the Tigers took the field on Saturday afternoon after clawing into a victory over Dartmouth on Friday night, Cooper Moore shone bright in a near-perfect mound performance, grabbing another win and making the Tigers 10-1. After clawing back for a win on Friday night after being down until the bottom of the fourth, the starting nine showed a rhythmic performance in the box. Not chasing the ball was what seemed to be tripping up the Tigers in other games, not only on Friday b

When former national champion Paul Mainieri was hired out of retirement to be the next head coach of SouthCarolina baseball, the opinions on the move were mixed. Former SC Athletic Director Ray Tanner, a baseball national champion in his own right, tabbed Mainieri as the man to lead the Gamecocks in one of the final moves of his twelve-year tenure. His supporters pointed out that Mainieri became one of eight, now five, active college baseball coaches with a national champions

Ron Polk recreates live his famous statue pose. March 8 marks the 50th anniversary of his first game at State. (Photo: Mississippi State Athletics By Doug Kyle Ron Polk has been in his “Golden Years” for some time now. The 82-year-old was just 27 when he became a Division 1 head baseball coach at Georgia Southern, 28 when he coached his first game. Four years later, 1976, he was the first full-time head baseball coach at an SEC school, Mississippi State. Hired in Fall 1975, t

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) represents what many would agree, the strongest conference across collegiate athletics.  This reigns especially true come baseball season as the league can count on earning more NCAA tournament bids than any other conference and maintain dominance in hosting ability.  In fact, each SEC program has earned the right to host a regional at least once since 2021, except for one.  In fact, the Missouri Tigers haven’t reached the NCAA tournament sin

Los Angeles — As the Bruins faced elimination in the College World Series in June, the run led by an outstanding sophomore class, turning a 19-33 2024 into an Omaha berth in 2025, onlookers anticipated emotion as UCLA’s dream of a dogpile drifted away. Emotion they witnessed, though likely not of the variety fans, media, or anyone outside of Head Coach John Savage’s walls may have anticipated. As out #27 approached, with the Bruins trailing late against Arkansas, the talented

There is no greater holiday than Opening Day in College Baseball.  Not even the early Valentine’s Day experience I received while checking in to the DoubleTree in Arlington last night could top it.   For some important context, this story begins on the evening of February 12th.  At my home in Omaha, the late-night hour brought the discovery of my home’s furnace going out alongside a cracked pipe that was spewing water.  This meant turning the water off until the fine people a
