WHAT TO WATCH FOR: No. 1 Wake Forest rallied for a 3-2 win over LSU on Monday. That gave the Demon Deacons a day off Tuesday while LSU had to take care of Tennessee. Wake Forest still has a deeper pitching staff, but the Tigers are probably in better shape than they could’ve expected, thanks to Nate Ackenhausen. Having already used starters Paul Skenes and Ty Floyd and reliever Thatcher Hurd, LSU needed someone to step up. Ackenhausen threw six-plus innings and Riley Cooper threw the final three against Tennessee, saving the rest of the bullpen for what could be a difficult week ahead.Â
