No. 1 Arkansas and No. 8 LSU — the reigning national champions — are set to clash in a crucial early season SEC showdown later this week.
The Razorbacks (20-3) saw their 15-game winning streak end last Sunday with an 8-6 loss to then-No. 23 Auburn. But Arkansas started a new streak with an easy midweek victory over Arkansas-Little Rock on Tuesday.
They are led by stalwart starting pitching, including the 1-2 punch of Hagen Smith and Brady Tygart, each with ERAs below 1.60 through their first six starts. The potent lineup is keyed by designated hitter Kendall Diggs (team-high .607 slugging percentage, five home runs and 51 total bases).
LSU (19-6) has lost each of its first two series to begin SEC play, to Mississippi State and Florida, respectively. The Tigers need better pitching from anyone not named Luke Holman, who has a sparkling 0.78 ERA in six starts.
The offense still touts stars like third baseman Tommy White and catcher Hayden Travinski, tied with six home runs apiece. But can they find consistency, one through nine?
Here is everything that you need to know about LSU vs. Arkansas ahead of this weekend's three-game series.
