GAMETHREAD: Alcorn State (11-36) vs. LSU (37-7), 6:30 pm, SECN+

In what's actually kind of a surprise, LSU will still play Alcorn State after the foul poles (among other objects) were destroyed in Monday's storm. As glorious leader points out below, that may have actually not been a bad thing.

Alcorn St (11-36, 4-27 SWAC) is currently carrying a 290 out of 301 NCAA RPI. It would absolutely be beneficial for LSU to not play tomorrow

I'm inclined to agree with him, Alcorn State is not only not an actual state, but they also are not a Southland team. This could be a chance to pad our lead in the Southland conference standings, but here we are playing an absolutely abysmal team for our last home midweek game.

And when I say they are bad, I mean they are baaaaaad. Alcorn State has yet to win a single series all year. That's bad. The Braves have 5 pitchers with an ERA in the double digits and 6 players at or below the Mendoza Line, minimum 20 ABs.

LSU is the best team in the country, but to give you a sense of how utterly outclassed ASU is, LSU has a 2.87 team ERA, dwarfed by Alcorn State's 7.09. LSU's is batting .320 as a team, and that's after playing the best bullpen in the country. Alcorn is swinging .248.

LSU will throw Kyle Bouman (1-1, 5.75) and Alcorn will counter with Jonathon Morales (0-4, 6.94) [6.9, nice].

Come out to the game to enjoy the last home midweek and to worship at the altar of LSU's brand new foul poles!
