LSU baseball is looking to turn the tide in SEC play this weekend as they host the South Carolina Gamecocks at Alex Box Stadium. After a tough stretch that saw the Tigers swept in three consecutive conference series—at Ole Miss, at home against Texas A&M, and last weekend at Mississippi State—the team is hungry for a much-needed win. With a record of 25-21 overall and 6-15 in the SEC, LSU faces a South Carolina squad that sits at 22-24 and 7-14 in conference, giving the Tigers a prime opportunity to snap their losing streak and claim a series victory.
The three-game series kicks off Friday night in Baton Rouge, with all games available exclusively via streaming. South Carolina enters the weekend after a midweek loss to in-state rival The Citadel, but they’ll be riding some momentum from their last league series, where they took two of three from Kentucky at home. For LSU, this matchup is more than just another series—it’s a chance to build confidence and show they can compete against an evenly matched opponent.
Here’s the full schedule for the LSU vs. South Carolina series, along with how to catch all the action:
Game 1: Friday, May 1 at 6:30 p.m. CT — SEC Network+ (stream on ESPN app)
