LSU second baseman Gavin Dugas (8) evades the tag by Tennessee catcher Charlie Taylor (14) to score, Friday, March 31, 2023, at Alex Box Stadium on the campus of LSU in Baton Rouge, La.

The eighth and final spot in the College World Series was determined late Monday night — and with it, LSU's first opponent in Omaha, Nebraska.

Tennessee won the decisive game of the Hattiesburg super regional Monday night, defeating Southern Miss 4-0 for the right to advance to Omaha, where the Volunteers will face the Tigers on the second day of the College World Series.

LSU (48-15) and Tennessee (43-20) will play at 6 p.m. Saturday on ESPN.

The Tigers, of course, had already clinched their trip to Omaha by completing a sweep of Kentucky on Sunday night at Alex Box Stadium.

LSU and Tennessee met for a three-game Southeastern Conference series March 30-April 1 at Alex Box in a showdown that featured some of the most talented players in the nation.

The Tigers won the opener 5-2 and the second game 6-4 (that was the same night the LSU women's basketball team defeated Virginia Tech in the Final Four). Tennessee claimed the finale 14-7.
