These kids are feisty and they will fight until the end without ever giving up. They can all hit, having most of the team register 4 or more hits each.

As for pitching, they don't have one dominate pitcher but they do have a truck load of pitchers that work together to form one tight pitching staff. All righties, minus the one LHP but we shouldn't see much of him this weekend so Jake Fraley should be ready to roll!

How did it come to be that LSU is playing a 3 game series against a Sacramento State, a team from the WAC who plays most sports in the Big Sky?

Keep in mind this not the Fresno Stat WAC of 2008.

Grand Canyon
Seattle U
CSU Bakersfield
Sacramento State
North Dakota
Utah Valley
Northern Colorado
NM State
Chicago State
UT Rio Grande Valley

Holy shite what the hell happened in here?

I posted this to talk about them, not to take over for Astro or the veterans that post much better preview threads. I just wanted us to talk about it.

Um...

What exactly is happening in here?
