BATON ROUGE - The LSU Tiger baseball teams head to Hoover with a clear mission and few options, Jay Johnson's Tigers must win the entire tournament in order to continue their season and earn a bid to NCAA Regional play.

The Tigers will face Oklahoma on Tuesday night in the late session of the single-elimination tournament.

LSU lost a weekend series to the Sooners at Alex Box Stadium back in the middle of March after taking the first game of the series.

The winner of the LSU-Oklahoma game will face Auburn in the late session on Wednesday night.

Before the Tigers take the field in Hoover, the SEC announced that four LSU players received All-SEC baseball recognition in a vote of the league’s 16 head coaches.

LSU centerfielder Derek Curiel and shortstop Steven Milam were each named Second-Team All-SEC, and they were voted to the SEC All-Defensive Team.

Catcher Omar Serna Jr. and first baseman/outfielder Mason Braun received Freshman All-SEC honors.
