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.
