West Virginia (44-16) set the program's single-season record for wins under first-year coach Steve Sabins. The Mountaineers advanced to their first-ever super regional last season. The game had originally been scheduled for 5:06 p.m. local time but was delayed approximately three hours due to inclement weather in the area.

The LSU Tigers will return to action on Saturday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field to begin Super Regional play against the West Virginia Moutnaineers. Jay Johnson and Co. will play host to the Mountaineers this weekend in the Baton Rouge Super Regional with the program only two wins away from a College World Series berth.
