Shouldn’t be. We have been Away more than Wake Forest. They have been Home every game but yesterday. We have been away twice to their once.


If I were on mobile Id screenshot and post but both show us batting in the top half of the inning tonight. Weird they both have it wrong if thats not the case, but I'll be happy with being the home team.

Both the LSU site and the NCAA site seem to indicate that LSU is the home team.

This is from LSU's website
https://lsusports.net/23cws/



From the NCAA site
https://www.ncaa.com/scoreboard/baseball/d1


Additionally, it appears the home team rules should mean LSU is the home team given that LSU was home twice and visitor twice vs Wake being home twice and visitor only once.

quote:

1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament.

2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.

3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee or the NCAA game representative shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:

a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall be the home team in the game in question

(Exception: If two teams are left where both teams have been the home team twice, the fifth game will be determined by a coin flip);

b. The team that was a visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games; or

c. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by coin flip. The higher seeded team can determine whether they will call the coin toss, or defer the call to their opponent.
