Arkansas (41-23) and LSU (53-16) will face each other for the second time in the College World Series Friday at 2 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPN2.

LSU won the first matchup on Monday by a score of 9-1. During the regular season, the Tigers took two out of three games from the Hogs.

If LSU wins, it will advance to the Championship Series, getting underway Monday at 6 p.m. ET. If Arkansas wins, the two teams will battle again on Saturday at either 1 p.m. or 6 p.m., with the winner advancing to the Championship Series.

LSU has been on fire, winning 12 straight games. Top-ranked in three out of four polls, and the 3rd seed nationally, the Tigers are coming off three days of rest. Arkansas has had to battle through the losers’ bracket, defeating Virginia 4-3 in 12 innings on Wednesday to earn the right to face LSU.

In the other bracket, Arizona St. (51-13) will face Texas (48-14-1), an elimination game for the Sun Devils. That game is at 7 p.m. ET. ASU advanced to the game by defeating North Carolina 12-5 on Thursday.
