The LSU baseball team will start play in the College World Series on Saturday night in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Tigers will play the winner of Monday night's game between Southern Miss and Tennessee at 6 p.m. Saturday. The game will be televised on ESPN.

The Tigers earned a berth into the CWS by sweeping Kentucky in the Baton Rouge super regional, capping the weather-delayed weekend with an 8-3 victory Sunday night.

Southern Miss and Tennessee were having weather issues of their own. Their Hattiesburg, Mississippi, super regional finale was scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, but was delayed by storms in the area.
