LSU Baseball began its 2026 season with a typical Opening Day game, taking on Milwaukee in Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers found themselves trailing 5-4 before a powerful seventh-inning surge propelled them to a 15-5 win. Cade Arrambide played a key role in the comeback with three hits, including a home run. As the season progressed, the Tigers' roster, which included transfer Zach Yorke at first base and an outfield trio of Derek Curiel, Jake Brown, and Chris Stanfield, was put to the test in a three-game series against Milwaukee. LSU entered the year ranked No. 1 in several preseason polls, setting high expectations for the team.
