“Oregon State is a very formidable opponent,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “Obviously, things didn't go very well for us the other night, but I don't think they're 12 runs better than us; I think things just got out of hand. We're glad to have another chance. We're among the last four teams standing, and we're aware of the challenge that is in front of us.”

Mainieri said that junior right-hander Alex Lange would start Friday's game on the mound for the Tigers. Lange (9-5) has a 29-9 career mark and is No. 2 on the LSU all-time strikeouts list with 398 Ks.
